Look what my wife bought me!!!!

Ricardo

For my listening room.


(She doesn't know yet.......)

Nice. However, I hope you are not over 6' 3" tall. I bought one of those leather recliners and it turned out to be the most uncomfortable chairs I ever had. Short people love it, but for me there is not enough real estate to support my legs. Worst $1000 I ever spent.

Ricardo

1.-Being less than 6' 3" tall is not being "short"
2.-I tried it. I have a friend that has one and I love it.
3.-I waited patiently until it was on sale at Macy's (Sale ends Monday). $499

A sex chair? You go Ricardo!

Enjoy man, feel like the Maxell guy!

hmmm,, you must have remotes,,,or a long arm

Question. are your ears above, or below the chair's back when you're in a music listening posture? I've tried different chairs in my listening area and always seem to prefer the ones that don't block my hearing from behind.

1) Yes, I use remotes.

2) If I don't find them, I just use my short arm

I don't have the recliner here, but I'd say below. It's like that with my current recliner and it works ok for me.

You are right, shorter than 6'3" is not short but shorter than 6'2'' is

Ah right, as H9 points out it's a sex chair!

Nice looking chair Ric! Good luck with the wifey!

Now down to brass tacks with height. Believe it or not, since my 50th birthday to now the double-nickels, I went from 5' 11+" down to 5' 9+" I couldn't believe it but at the docs office they checked it twice!:eek::eek::eek: I had no idea it could happen that fast!:eek::(

I've lost 20 lbs in the past 6 to 7 weeks but I thought it came from my belly and face. This is scary.


Carry on!:D

LOL Ricardo...nice score. If you need to move the RTAs to generate cash flow for the seat project be sure and shoot me a PM:)

Ricardo

Jeff, I do need to move them from the 2 channel room to the HT and back every now and then. Glad you're willing to help!!

hearingimpared

Ric, is that an old picture as I see The Clamp on there and thought you sold it as well as your analog front end?

Make sure you position it in the sweet spot because I will be sitting in it the entire time I visit

As you will see, there's only room for one chair and that's the sweet spot. You'll have to take turns!!!

Prepare to fall asleep down there much more often.

That is was old age is all about. Yep, 2 inches you are starting to bow a little I guess, here you go old man

Ricardo's chair would be useless to you. What you need is one of those;

Ricardo, is that an actual Ekornes Stressless recliner or a knockoff?

Nice score bro.

That's the ugliest color I ever saw.

Awesome chair !

There's just one thing to complete the package, IMO (only $5.95 on Amazon):

If you feel your better half seems to not respond as promptly as you feel comfortable with, than perhaps ( $2.95 on Amazon, and apparently better at longer ranges):

http://www.amazon.com/Colonial-Medical-Assisted-Devices-Distance/dp/B000HEIUCY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1283570675&sr=8-2


For legal purposes, I have to state that there is a reason that I am no longer married. With a chair like that, though ...... it wouldn't matter.
