FINALLY Found A Listening Chair I Want

[Ron Resnick]

Every time I go on a chair hunt everyone points me towards Ekornes. Trouble is they're only sorta comfortable for me... Still can't stop thinking about the One chair that I haven't been able to ever track down again.

Backs and butts and necks and orthopedic issues are highly idiosyncratic, and chairs feel different to each body.

I, personally, find uncomfortable very cushiony, soft, marshmallow-y chairs that most people find very comfortable. I also like in car seats a strong and protruding lower lumbar support which would make most people complain "get your foot out of my back!"

Not necessarily for audio purposes, though I personally like it for audio listening, but the chair that I have found to be the most widely comfortable for the most people is the Human Scale Freedom Chair. See Post #22 supra.

HP may have had the perfect answer with his Barbers chair
--he could pump up to the correct /variable heights of differing ear/tweeter placements etc

Sadly 90% of the comfortable variety shown in these posts do not figure in my case--the SFG Homages have the Tweet 4 ft from the floor!
I'm still looking for used Barbers

Indeed I peruse all sites frequently-- but the stars haven't aligned as yet-ha!--either too old, too big, too grotty, won't ship/etc --finding one within grabbing distance is a chore--but I'm keeping options open, I have a normal salon adjustable in the meantime-but it only goes to 20"
I'm certain something will be suitable --the search continues
Thank you,

I’m thinking a bit about a day bed.

Not good to listen with your ears pointed at the ceiling.

Seems to work... still sounds amazing.

That's my favorite. Missed the opportunity to buy one at special price - isn't cheap, and regret ever since. Need start to collect some side money, but it is nearly impossible as I spent more than I have for old tubes.

"Backs and butts and necks and orthopedic issues are highly idiosyncratic, and chairs feel different to each body."

After 200 some odd chairs in 3 or 4 different states? I agree whole-wholeheartedly! Search for "the one".

Chairs in my RoomPlay Reference demo room - had them for 20 years or so. Sorry about the second image - it'll need to be clicked on to be full size.

Wondering if any id you have tried the Lobster chair?
It looks nice but nit quite sure if it is comfortable or not.

I wish if there is a chair that looks good, comfortable and height adjustable.
Any recommendations

Looks great! Did you buy it? I see you’re in LA where the seller was located.

An old leather recliner covered over with a chineal carpet.

I'm planning to buy one of these chairs with the ottoman:

Stratus

The Stratus Modern Swivel Recliner offers a tight back & seat cushion that provides you much needed support. Shop American Leather for modern recliners.

They are super comfortable. There is also a model with more padding, but I prefer this one.
