Fave listening chair?

That looks like what I bought, but I’m not sure that mine is made with “genuine leather.”

This was another replica that had received good reviews

Sohnne

Ordered the Sohnne today…60 day money back guarantee and used PP, so I am good either way :slight_smile:

I am thinking a leather recliner would be a nice listening chair, it needs to have a cup holder, so I do not accidentally drop my whiskey when dozing off. :grin:

Just got this last month - Stressless Recliner Magic (large); very happy, but no cup holder:

When I had a call with Edgar of Theoretica Applied Physics about the installation of the BACCH4Mac Audiophile edition he saw my listening chair through the head tracking video cam. He recommended that I switch to a chair with nothing behind my head. With the BACCH4Mac it made a significant difference. It changed the filter created and the overall listening experience. I assume it would make a difference whether or not one is using BACCH4Mac or not.

Can’t believe how pricey that Barcelona is :grimacing:

It does. I hear much more of a difference with my X-Chair headrest than with the SL recliner.

If I really want to critically listen I can sit straight up and my ears are just above the headrest and are several inches forward of it. However most of my listening is in a reclined position so compromises are necessary - I setup my speakers for a 1/2 way reclined position.

Is there enough room for, and would the Barcelona Chair support, two people?

You could squeeze 2 people on the chair, but not very comfortable.
I have (4) Barcelona chairs + a matching ottoman.
The ottoman could be used as a chair for 2nd person.

Got it, thanks!

Have you received the chair?

What is your impression/review?

The LpHuntress and I picked up a pair of Stressless Recliners and ottomans at an estate sale a while back for 1/4 of the cost. She sniffs out bargains!!!

I ended up returning it as they sent me the wrong one. And I recently got some new theater seating so I’m just gonna hold off for now.

Understood. Thanks

It wasn’t a bad chair, i think if it would have been the right one (Tall) I would have kept it…

As much as I wanted to like the Stressless chairs - and I’ve tried out most of the models - I could not find one that I really liked. I keep going back to Lazy Boys. Greyson power recliner for the HT/music setup. A high leg reclining chair (forget the model name) for the two channel set up. Both are very comfortable.

Favorite listening spot… Italian swivel leather
