Audiophile Chairs

[blessingx]

We'll start off with this one: Ballerina Sweetspot Audiophile Chair

Anyone got other suggestions?

Yes, I'm always on the lookout for a chair to tighten up the bass, sweeten the midrange and gave the treble more clarity. Something that also makes the soundstage more holographic and gives instruments a less artificial tone would be helpful too.

Wonder if it comes with automatic blow job or at least hand job mechanism

The problem is, it's an interaction thing, so each chair is going to sound different in your room. You're just going to have to buy a few (not more than one or two at a time, presumably) and try them.

The most important part (besides comfort, of course) is the material combination closest to the head/ears. I would completely discount anything hard (like solid wood). Cloth materials and suede would be good, but they may make sounds boomier than they were originally. I would also seriously consider something with no or minimal head support.

I got one of these (used), really nice. In theory adjustable "sweet spot locator. "

Zero gravity, perfect chair

And on a less serious note:

Now there's an idea I really like.

I was going to put in my vote for the Herman Miller Aeron but it's more of an office chair than anything else (and it's the most awesomest office chair of course). Well, until I saw this one:

I now officially want one!

[guzziguy]

That's because it's made with milspec 99.9999% oxygen free copper. You can even listen in outer space.

Yep I should try this one. I usually listen very late and I can easily fall asleep way before the end of a Dream Theater CD....

My dream audio chair would be the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman.




The one I use now is an Ekornes Stressless recliner and ottoman



It's all about comfort

^^^^^

About the Eames chair, if you're more than six feet tall forget about it.

Leather is way too reflective.

a wing suit and a high speed fan

Too much "road noise".

[Grahame]

No, use a pile of dollars as your audiophile chair
I find that crisp new sequential $100's increase the sense of "Air"

I like the steelcase leap better then the Aeron.
