    Beautiful set up! Love the colors of the AG in that room. Serious Avantgarde InstallSerious Avantgarde InstallSerious Avantgarde Install

    I also like the simplicity of the three chairs. What kind of chairs are those?

    Rob, my second Quad ESL system is anchored by a Knoll Saarinen womb chair and ottoman as well. I also listen on a Le Corbusier LC4 lounge chair. At my office, I have two Mies Brno chairs and two Mies MR Lounge chairs and an MR coffee table. The only piece I am sometimes itching to get for listening is the Eames Lounge. It doesn't get better than these iconic midcentury pieces!

    I wonder if this mid-century guy would have trouble getting out of them?

    Very impressive. I know how much it took to move my Duos into the house. Looks like if your client ever sells his home, I can guess what the next owners will have as speakers!

    Re: Serious Avantgarde Install

    Incredible install and I'm glad people are taking their chairs seriously as "The Chair", IMHO, has been one of the most overlooked components of one's system.

    I just found my answer, the Willy designed by Guglielmo Ulrich in 1937 and now made by Poltrona Frau. Got mine in their Ferrari red leather. Love it.
