Your listening chair

GUys, our friend and fellow A'Goner Marco [Jax2] has that very chaisse lounge in his listening room. Another A'Goner in Toronto, Canada has one as well.

Here are some cheaper knock offs, Mitch:

Mitch, I think you REALLY need one of these in that studio space of yours:

I agree with Rcprince that the relaxation benefits of an ottoman will outweigh any sonic compromises. Especially from 15 feet away.

For listening I use a Herman Miller Aeron which is also my work chair at home. It's ultra-adjustable, comfortable enough to sit in for 12 hours a day and I can roll it forward if I want to listen nearfield.

Mark, my ex-girlfriend has an Ikea Poang, and yes it is very comfortable. A bargain too. Plus, they have multiple wood/cushion combos available.

Mitch, you called DWR for leather samples or one of the Ebay links? There are lot's of DWR stores in LA, but they sell all the popular stuff at full retail.

As DP suggests, I think I'd be happy with one of the knock-off Mies Van Der Rohes instead. A fake Pavillion Chair with ottoman ain't bad either. Probably one third to one fourth the cost of an original Mies.

You better get your boy his own listening chair too, heheh.

And when choosing a listening suit, make sure it has a cool slogan like these:

A Velodyne DD18 Ottoman? Whoa.

"The Karuselli chair looks like the ottoman option might be gynecologist stirrups?"

Hahhhhh! Oh my god. My stomach hurts!

Say, I looked at that Calia Mondel Chair. Very nice. But which side does your head go on?

Good info Whart. For years, I had no idea the previous Pavillion/Barcelona Chair DWR was selling was a knock off. Although I suspected such when the price for a DWR Barcelona went from $1995 to $3495, and that doesn't include the ottoman.

6 Minute Abs? Wha, huh? Nooo! You can't get a good workout in 6 minutes! 7 Minute Abs!

I knew you'd catch that one, Howard.
