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.

MC and I agree the Gamut Lobster Chair has superb springs, meanwhile Jason Bourne is in Fantasyland

I tried the Eames chair a few days ago. While it is reasonably comfortable, when seated, my ears are 4 inches lower than the tweeters of my speakers. Would it be better if the tweeters and my ears are at the same height? 

@dcpillai,

 

Yes, if you are concerned about hearing precise fidelity at the listening position from most normal sized Speakers with typical low, midrange, and tweeter configuration. It has been recommended, suggested, and tested with results to come to this conclusion (don't ask me, Google is your friend). Not to say that you can't sit higher or lower, your just not hearing the best spatial qualities. I think giant array speakers, those with 6 foot bass columns and the same size for mids and tweeters, listening height would not make a difference, and I would also say the same for magnepan speakers as those types of speakers in most cases have the same drivers literally floor to speaker height. 

Thanks for the constuctive input @audioquest4life .

I wonder whether I can seek your input on another point, i.e. I currently use a highback chair and while the sound is good (to my heairng), it seems to be even better (i.e. better separation and clarity of instrumentation) when I cup my ears. Why is that? 

Appreciate your feedback.
