"Fjords" AKA "Hjellegjerde" is a good Norwegian recliner manufacturer that runs less $ than Ekornes Stressless. Available in fabric or soft leather & different sizes. Get one with the neck pillow to keep your ears away from the chair back. They also have some models that taper towards the head rest. Both manufacturers make good quality chairs and can be found second hand BTW. I like to sit low but my knees are knackered so sizing is important.
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.

Hands down the Le Corbusier LC4 Chaise Lounge. Not only is it a classic of design, it's extremely relaxing and comfortable. I adjust mine so it's a little more upright than you generally see, so that there is nothing behind my ears, with the neck support to hold your head up. The listening position is great. The body is 100% supported and you really relax and engage with the music. |
RE: " I’ve found the Steel Case Leap V2 (version 2. The V1 is no good)" @dreas, that’s your opinion. I have found the Leap V1 to be very good, indeed. I’ve owned three of them; just gave my first to my twin; sitting in second; have a leather v1 as backup. Thanks to Steelcase chairs (the TOTL Criterion, then Leap v1s) I’ve been able to work many long days in home office for 25+ years, despite lower back issues. I never tried a v2, mainly because I know a couple people who did and ended up not liking them. I’m not saying a Steelcase Leap chair is good for the listening room. I personally prefer something w/at least a head rest. But they're damned good in an office environment... |
