I really like this thought as trying to do home theater and stereo in the same room on a budget has become a major issue for me. Hmmmm
My Butt is Sick & Tired!!
That's it. No more sitting on the floor when a guest or wife watches movies with me. Time to replace the oversize, overstuffed chair in my HT with dual seating! I've been shopping around and found that there are two classes of chairs (to the best of my knowledge): your standard HT seats one one hand, and your basic recliner with cupholder and storage bin on the other.
What I'd like to know is, "What's the difference?" The HT seats I've come across have large rectangular arms and cost a small fortune (upwards of $1k). Pseudo-HT, side-by-side recliners can be had in the $500 to $700 range. Are the bona-fide HT seats that much more comfortable, or are they just made better to withstand a lot of wear and tear?

Thank euww, thank euww verry much-uh! It was not easy for me. I stressed for days researching choices and narrowing them down. The countdown to trigger-pull was (almost) the worst, as I wondered if some other similar model might be better. But that paled by comparison when the phone rep told me my pick was discontinued. I didn't have a backup! I only had a first choice in two very different quality categories. I was caught unprepared:Those look great Lou! Congrats, and good choice.
"I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn’t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!" --Jake Blues
So I was instantly and genuinely relieved when they told me a different company picked up the model. In retrospect, I enjoyed learning and shopping. A new day brings a fresh start and the new perspective that buyer's remorse is not on my radar. And of course there's more learning to come as I live with the seats and find out what's to like/not like.
And thank you too, Jack! You sound to me as if you're settling. With a La-Z-Boy!? I don't mean to pry, so ignore me if I'm out of line but now I'm curious. Seat back too high? Getting long-in-the-tooth? Just want more of an authentic theater feel?Congrats Lumen, they look great. I too hope to have a nice pair of those one day, until then a big lazy boy will have to do.
Yes the seat back is too high and I would like something with an authentic feel. You of course, are spot on. You sat in the big old chair, and I like it because there is room to lounge sideways if i get cramped, its just there is only one and I shant be able to find its exact mate for a double date. Now havin said that, my wife likes to lay on the sleeper sofa and watch movies and we dont really have others over for the big watch so I guess it is not that important.And thank you too, Jack!

You single handedly solved my problem. I will purchase some invisible chairs for the invisible guests. :T
My Grado SR60's became lawn fertilizer after my dog ate them :unbelievable:Btw, don't you have a nice mobile sweet spot? I.E.:cans. I know. No matter how nice the headphones are, it's not the same, but all your work will pay off. Doing good buddy.
I now have a pair of B&W P5's I got as part of a trade-in deal. They're used with a portable amp/DAC in the office and on-the-go . They're well-balanced, have deep bass, and are extremely comfortable for hours on end. But they're not accurate enough for my recording needs, because I feel they're voiced far to the warm side of neutral. I don't use them for casual listening, but have toyed with the idea of getting a set for serious listening. I've had my eye on the Sennheiser HD800 for a while now, but a man's gotsa eat sometimes!
Thanks for sharing and welcome to my boat! :T...we dont really have others over for the big watch so I guess it is not that important.
