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.

I took the plunge! Gamut Lobster chair has finally arrived and is with my dealer. Will be trying it out next week. Is it going to be good or will it turn out to be an expensive mistake? Honestly don't know. But will certainly report my experience soon. Fingers crossed! 

I am happy to report that I have had the Gamut Lobster chair for a month now. Siting in it the first time was a surprise / shock as it was so incredibly different from the plush IMG recliner that I had previously. The chair has much less padding and I got used to it over the next few days. I find the chair to be very comfortable now and any fears of back pains have receded away.

Does it make a difference sound wise? Yes it does, at least to the ears of those that have come to try it out. Quoting my system page " The sound (in particular the sound stage and clarity of instruments) seems to have improved, as far as my ears are concerned that is :-) What an absolute relief! "

It's very modern and beautiful, and I'm sure very well made, but I wouldn't want to be without the adjustability of my recliner, especially the adjustable power headrest. Before my current recliner, I had one like this (not nearly as high quality) with the separate footrest and it was nice, but once I got used to the adjustability of a good power recliner I was hooked. 

In addition to that, the round wooden base of the old one was always moving and had to be moved back into position every day. It's also nice to be rid of the large footrest. Now when I'm not using it it's not in the way.
