Your Listening chair
I use an Ikea Bentwood rocker with a footstool that matches. The chair back comes up just enough to provide neck support but doesn't block the sound. The chair rocks just a bit if you want to move with the music. The foot stool is not attached so ...

B&O, overpriced artistic piece of audio?

why so much Anthem?
Good question Mattman . I've been buying some Anthem from my local dealer here in Calgary Alberta and asked the same questions. I prefer to pay a little more to support my local dealer and have worry free service than enjoy the considerable saving...
