- I have a need to sit in a rocker, and after 50 years of listening critically in many chairs, I have found a comfortable yet supportive chair that embodies most of the best qualities for listening, reading and relaxing. It is the center chair, an Amish custom made glider (not rocking using noisy springs) chair with low shoulders and covered with a soft cloth fabric. You do not have to rock when listening seriously, but who does that all the time?! I found leather reflects sounds, messing with image, musical timber and tilts the audio spectrum upward toward excess treble. The chair is 2 inches wider to accommodate this somewhat "wide load" lol! If I figure out how to download pictures I'll do so! Google Schrocks Heritage Furniture for details. Ask for Jimmy. 330-893-2242. For about $800-900 you cannot go wrong!
Your audiophile chair
I am searching a quality lounge chair to listen to music.
I like a lot VIPP brand, the 488 Model.
Any suggestion?
Surfing the web on european websites, I found a funny seat....
Felice Rossi - RAM lounge chair. Design: No Picnic | J. Bergfeldt.
May be this chair is some solution to some reverb sound from the room. The structure in enameled steel tube, seat and back in polyurethane foam are covered in leather V 118.
Thank you.

https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/7QXhsGfndPPu Sorry I had to send 3 separate links to pictures. One is THE chair, another a view from behind the chair looking toward the speakers, and another from between the speakers looking toward the listening position. I hope this gives a good visual |
Hi roxy54 - the chairs you reference were intentionally chosen to help the sound. I designed the room 30 years ago to be hard and bright, with dimensions to sharply limit standing waves. I then softened the room of any hardness or slap echoes using ACS tube trap products, carpet, a high vaulted ceiling and furniture. The table is always covered with stuff, so nothing reflects off the glass; it's legs are thin and way below the direct sound line-source ribbons deliver. When using room correction by Trinnov Amethyst preamp and mike it measured incredibly flat 20-20k Hz aside from <2 dB bumps at 20 and 50 Hz. The only thing about a glider rocker is you can move in and out of the sweetspot a little, so you may notice minimal doppler effect only when looking for it. For serious listen I sit quite still and comfortable! Everything about the soundstage, timber, dynamics and focus are very natural and precise. There is method to my audio madness! For example, orchestras, Jennifer Warnes, Roger Water's opening Bill Hubbard track from Amused to Death are precise and span 180° arc of image. Classical, jazz, folk and techno are my preferences - all great recordings sound...GREAT! The listening chair does not interfere with the music at all, and is very comfortable! |
