Most Ekornes Stressless recliners are sold with leather upholstery. However, the difference between leather and fabric upholstery is profound. I tried out a leather Stressless for a while and it radically altered the sound. When I finally located a fabric covered Stressless recliner, the sound was not affected in any significant way, even with a high back behind the head.
What is the best 2 channel listening chair?
I've been using a Ames lounge chair for years, it looks and feels good ...but it's a little low...l was ready for an upgrade. I was reading you should avoid chairs that are higher that the shoulder, but l will choose comfort first,nothing too bulky,no theater seats.I recently purchased a Human touch pc610 (optioned out).So far its been fantastic.Any input or ideas on this subject would be appreciated.

@polkalover - :-)
There is some truth though. I have at triple recliner (modular). I like to share my music, but I also like to have the best seat in the house at times (and we use the room for movies too). Leather every where else in the house, not in the audio room. |
@nonoise , There must be 100 different Adirondack chairs on the market. I am sure I tried about 20 of them. Some of them are outright uncomfortable to sit on. With the right one, it is amazing how comfortable a chair with no padding can be. The key is distributing your weight over a larger area and avoiding any pressure points. Maybe that wooden chair is not so bad? |
Ekornes stressless chairs are by far the best I've tried. Started with IKEA, then non reclining leather with ottoman (Leather Center) and then a leather recliner. All cause back pain after a few hours of usage. The Ekornes is recommended by the American Chiropractic association for a reason. I can sit for hours, even fall asleep deep into the middle of the night and have no issues whatsoever. That when you need a Tru Lift so your stylus doesn't were out prematurely. Just replaced my 16 year old Stressless (that is structurally perfect - my son will take it with the head area covered with fabric) with the EXACT same chair (what product can say that) with a new color. Price went up about 40-50% and it took about 5 months to get it from Norway since the color was not a standard they stock in the US. Never saw one with cloth. Wouldn't consider anything but leather. I do have it on a rug sitting on hard wood so it doesn't move or damage the wood. The pads you can get for under the bases don't work. Pricey, but well worth it. |
