Thanks for your response guys. Robin, thanks for the idea on the Ekornes with the riser rings. I am 6' (not quite as tall as you), but I believe that may work out. For now I've done some repositioning to get better bass response at my seated position with the same chair that I have (way too comfortable to give up, especially for long sessions). I have seen the Ekornes and they look good. Might just try this out.
What's your chair ?
Recently due to a change in speakers, I am looking for a new chair for my listening room. My previous chair (the very comfortable Bentley chair and ottoman from Ethan Allen) affords me a height of 39" at my ear. I need to find a chair, preferably with height adjustment, so that my ear is more or less at the height of the woofer in my new speakers which is an unusual 42". Since this is an important factor in integrating the sound from my speakers, I was wondering whether my fellow audiophiles had any suggestions. Also curious as to what chairs you do use, since this is quite an important factor in our audio lives.
