Thanks for sharing that!
Looks nice although not really quite my kinda hifi junk.
If you like that (and/or the rather more esoteric stuff that I dream about, hifi wise), there's a guy on Flikr whose albums you might like, too.

I honestly feel exhausted looking at systems like this.
I will never forget the day we sold my Dad's Grande Utopias... 5 men and a fork lift, honestly makes you have a head ache just thinking about it!
I'm sure it sounds good, but then again maybe not. I've heard alot of bad audio from systems like this!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
With a system like that....the chair is or would be minuscule and could have cost more than many a whole system on this forum. Just sayin'...

I'm going to venture a guess that chair is probably in the $2-$3K range.See my profile for list of gear. -

A more comfortable chair might detract from alertness during critical listening sessions.

This guy does not seem to mind a more comfortable listening chair...
Either do I... https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/178055/the-search-for-the-perfect-listening-chair-is-over/p1
Comfortable enough to fall asleep in and truly enjoy the music!

In all seriousness -- to me, one of the small pleasures of hifi is to drift off into a brief, shallow sleep whilst listening to great music, well reproduced. The ultimate relaxation, e.g., on a Sunday evening.
-
You actually want a chair like this that doesn't have a head rest or anything around your ears for the sound to bounce off of. So acoustically, this is an excellent chair choice for that room.

That's a Chieftain. Your estimate is low.

Dayum....I didn't think it would have been that much! Wowzers.

I only plant my аss in chairs that cost at least 10 grand. My derriere only touches butter soft leather seating surfaces.

I picked up a push back reclining "accent chair" to replace my Ikea Poang chair. I still have the Ikea as it holds some sentimental value but the new chair is fantastic, soft without being too soft, low backrest so as not to influence reflections from the back and side walls, and above all else, was $50 (hardly) used."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

Check these out.....I thought the Dodd wood pre was cool looking. These blow the looks of that out of the park!

I have a big poofy cloth loveseat to help absorb reflections and cushion my GF and I's butts. Occasionally my daughter and I sit together and enjoy music. No one else is allowed there because they don't know how to shut the F**k up and listen.
