Gamut Lobster Chair


I have found posts on this forum relating to the Stressless and Eames lounge chair as good listening chairs, but not so much on the Gamut Lobster Chair. Has anyone here tried the Gamut Lobster Chair or better still own one? If so, would appreciate your sharing your thoughts / experience with regard to the Gamut Lobster Chair. Many thanks.

It does not look very comfortable though it is quite beautiful. I imagine if your head was within the confines of the chair it would get rid of many room reflections. It is equivalent to cupping one ear in a single direction. If you want to judge good room correction bring in a Ferengi (star trek guy with giant ears that can only hear forward )

A soft, black leather, high back, office chair, with rollers and height adjustment lever works best for me. I can roll it to  find the sweet spot, and adjust the height   when switching between my floor standers,  and my stand mount, mini sattelite/subwoofer system.

When not listening to music, it doubles as my computer chair in the opposite end of my room.

I never heard of this lobster chair....looked it up and it really is a good looking piece of furniture.

Just replaced my Ekornes Stressless chair with another one. After 15 years the leather started to finally get worn looking.  They still make the exact same chair (higher price of course)! I had been through 3 other brands, some pretty expensive  before it and the biggest difference is my back doesn't hurt after getting out of it after long periods, can even sleep there. I think it is recommended by some chorpractic association. It is very comfortable, but not like a recliner where the footrest comes up, vibrates or holds a refrigerator like Costanza's on Seinfeld. Not really cushy of pillowy at all if that's what you are looking for.

Bad news - very expensive and made in Sweden, so if you don't get a standard color that is in stock in the US, it has to be custom ordered. Mine took 23 weeks to get here because my wife couldn't live with a stock color. This one may outlive me....BTW the old one is still perfectly good and my son will take it when he moves back in driving distance. He loves it more than me.
