Logical, I suppose? - Seating height & 802s

[caleb]

Now as a B&W owner of several years I suppose I should not be writing this thread as I am sure you are all going to say - "what a plonker!!".

Last week, I bought some home theatre seats for my HT (Pieter please note).

The seating position is about 5 inches higher than my other seating.

WOW! ! ! what a difference in sound.

I am now sitting with my ears directly in line with the tweeter and mid range.

I have 802's all round so in the past I have obviously been "off line".

It is like another world for me.

The lesson to be learned is?

Right - now for the flack coming from all sides.

Caleb,

Good move... It's often amazing how these little things make a bg difference isn't it!

Yes Geoff,
Little things do, but I am embarrassed that I didn't think about it before!

What seating height are your HT seats with you sitting in it and when not sitting in it? I'm just curious what a good seat height should be. Looking online I've found that there doesn't seem to be a standard seat height for HT chairs. I've seen things from 17 inches to 18 inches mostly though. My seat is 17 inches when sitting in it, 18 inches when not sitting in it.
