Your Listening chair

Interesting topic, I think anyway as I have had a fascination with chairs long before my fifteen year stint in the interior design industry, even had an outdoor chair "garden" at one time. I listen ten to fifteen degrees off axis for casual listening and sit on a modern Deco style leather sofa (the farthest end from the speakers), pillows are great for the lounge aspect as Sam has already noted. For on axis listening I rotate three different chairs. One is made from completely from plywood and the seat and back are bent and curved (my wife purchased it at a yardsale from the woman who built it as part of an art and design course), this one does require a pillow for the seat, especialy since I dropped fifteen pounds. This chair is normally placed next to the Tansu cabinet that houses the electronics and CD's. The second chair is one of the French Riviera lounge chairs that usually rest at the dining table (we live in a small 60's "U" shaped arrangement living/dining-breakfast nook/kitchen and all of the mentioned chairs are footsteps away. I used to collect French wrought iron folding chairs and would never let go of these (they are the ones with the heart shaped backs with the up or down armrests) never been to the Riviera, but at least I have the chairs. The last and best is the original butterfly chair (solid one piece frame, not the later folding types), I won't pop for the Ralph Lauren leather covers so I am going to ask my father to make a pair as one of his hobbies is leatherwork (he even has an industrial sewing machine for canvas and leather). All are low backed and all sound the same, but I look at it (the variety) as not wearing the same pair of shoes everday. I had a friend in highschool who's father owned a stereo "egg chair", in white. He ended up committing suicide (the father) approx. three years after the purchase of the chair. Everytime I see one I always wonder. Good thing there are not too many around these days, egg chairs that is.
