Setting Up Home Theater / Listening Room

[ted_b]

Yeah, thanks, star quad has been dismissed on many forums for being a bit too rolled off, but necessary for high noise (pro/outdoor, etc) areas. I may end up with longer runs of my Belden/Neutrik combo, but currently leaning toward Mogami Silver for the long runs, and Grimm TPR/Neutrik for the fronts. If I use a balanced switcher (like Kal's Coleman 7.1 sw) then I'll use db25 snakes of something (Seismic?) for the shorter multichannel runs, and the Grimms for my 2 channel stuff.

My wife and I are 5'8", slim. We are looking for two narrow recliners or lounges for our small media room. We would like them to have a small headrest (like a gaming chair), so they do not obstruct the sound from the quad/rear-surround speakers. I have done many Google Image searches but have not found anything that we like. Have any of you seen a recliner like this?

I have shopped for recliners for two different rooms. I've never seen what you are describing. I ended up with theatre chairs on both occasions. Both sets have huge pillow type headrests. I do understand your problem. Since my rears are at 100 degrees to the sides, all I need do is recline the seats to the right and left of the MLP to get a clear line of sight to the surround speakers.

I wouldn't call these narrow but not that wide either.
What drew me to them was the powered headrest that could be lowered or raised at will.
A real bonus for surround sound listening IMO, Love mine

Every time I go to the dentist, I imagine one or two of those chairs in my room. Two little pads holding my head, but no drilling in my mouth.

HTmarket also offers 'home theater' seating with an adjustable headrest, similar to what @Sal1950 posted above.

The nice thing with HTM is that you can get the seats in many configurations, solo, sofa, loveseat, and so forth. Not cheap, but I have sat in one of their seats before and the quality and fit are second to none.

Can't get the pictures to work ?

Thanks. There are a lounge chairs that are very close to what we would like but the prices are outrageous.

What's outrageous? HT recliner pricing starts at about $1000 give or take.

They don't show as links in the post, but they opened here when I hit reply while editing. But the final reply doesn't show them.

I think it has something to do with the weird file naming string and the .jpg not being the last in the string. I bet this one works normal.

Nor Safari.
