Fave listening chair?

That’s actually a very nice looking chair! Which one is it?

Why do those speakers make me think of the giant marching hammers in the movie version of The Wall? At least they make me feel like they’re about to swing forward and crush me, regardless.

That chair is an original Finn juhl chieftain, a little over $100,000

One of the Audio Exotics rooms?

These folks seem to have it for a lot less than $100k:

Looks most uncomfortable, and for a guy of my vintage and ability, it looks so hard to get out of!

A replica is “cheap” in comparison:


here is my little chair. It is far below 100k but always good to hide some stuff behind :wink:

Absolutely fantastic room. Those mini monitors rock!
And don’t get me started on that DAC!!! I may have to get me one of those.

Yes you are correct.

There were only 25 original chieftain chairs produced by Finn juhl, the rest are copies. I believe that one is an original.

Ninja vs two sumo wrestlers. I bet on the latter.

Is that a 10 piece minimum order?

Beats me.

It all falls above my tax bracket, but I have always loved the look of the Silent Running racks! at least there something in the room I could swing…

I know. But then I’d have to adjust the suspension to accommodate the weight. And I don’t wanna.

I found the Eames dreadfully uncomfortable and gave it away to a friend.

My chair was chosen by my audio dealer during a Covid refit. So they had been customer-tested for long listening sessions. My wife loved it and we had a couple made. They were very reasonably priced.

I had a client whose father was a famous char designer - Gastone Rinaldi. He was obviously more into design than music.

Paging through the recent Design Within Reach catalog… Leather is nice, but I love that orange fabric.
