    Yes, comfy chairs. Ekornes, Stressless recliners. They change the models every few years, just google Ekornes Stressless, they have many different models.

    I actually talked about them and how natural they sound, but we just didn't have time.

    Re: Mono & Stereo visit in NYC

    Thanks Bob for allowing me to audition the M3's on such short notice last Tuesday. I second an earlier post that if anyone thinks Magico = Fast, clear, analytical etc, but devoid of "soul," listen to the M3, one of the most expressive speakers I've heard. And in Bob's huge room with glass windows behind the speakers which was left OPEN, shockingly deep, weighty but still articulate bass. I'm sure that the MSB dac and Vitus monoblocs contributed to one of the most impressive sounding systems I've heard regardless of price.
