Terry,
Man, with a new Runco, Pre/Pro, Ekornes seating - you'll be jammin'!

I love our Ekornes chairs - two in the front row of our theater, one for my 2 channel listening room.

Howie,
2.5k to 3k for a single chair/ottoman is in the range here in the US. Sometimes basic promotional models in black are available at a substantial discount.

Tom

Howie,

If you click on the Link below it has a lot of "Pricing".
That is the source I used to get an idea on cost before I actually went to my local Ekornes Dealer.
You can probably find out what you are looking for.

I thoroughly recommend the Ekornes / Stressless brand, their heads and shoulders above any opposition. The ergonomic shape is highly refined in supporting the backbone. There are quite a few models to choose from to suit your body shape with some differing around the shoulder area.

They sit in front of my 2 channel system and even hours later they are superb.

The quality is top notch and worth paying for. Its one item in the house one never regrets buying (along with McIntosh of course).
My favourite leather is Paloma, color Tan.

Anthony

Ekornes is extraordinarily comfortable, I have one chair and and a small footrest. That ottoman pictured - saw that last year and might be the catalyst for some new seating as well. The ottoman in the first pic - that wood overlay can be removed, opening a lot
of storage, I think the side cushions can be moved together and then the wood piece can act as a lap desk, or perhaps a place to rest a cheese board, etc. Very versatile and clever. I have nothing but good things to say about Ekornes Stressless.

I might be fortunate - there is a small retailer here in the Philadelphia area, Dane Decor, that carries much of their range.

Edit: Sorry Tiger and others, I just went back and READ your description of the ottoman and storage etc and didn't mean to duplicate. First time through, I just saw the pics.

The Tan is very attractive as you say I went with the Paloma, Color Rock.
I am trying to have a completely Dark/Cave in the HT.

As you say sitting in this seating sure feels great.

Maybe by the end of this month we will have all of it or 1st week of March.

What we ordered is stocked at the warehouse in NJ.

I thought you might find that link interesting once you clicked on it.
There are so many choices to pick from.
I don't think a person can go wrong as it is all 1st Class.

No-problem on going over the product twice.
You probably had some thoughts on it that I did not.

I'm very much looking forward to when all this arrives.

Good times are on the way for sure to a HT in Franklin, TN.

Terry

Talking

Hello guys,

I am so pumped on the incoming Ekornes Stressless seating I did some more shopping today.

I have decided to match up everything in the HT now that finally we will have some real furniture.

This is the old love seat but I went ahead and placed the Component stand by it to get the idea.

I think this is all about having fun and I am indeed doing that fellows.

Had to get a Component stand for all my remotes, phone, etc.
Drove all over the place and went through a 1/2 tank of gas.
All most gave up and thought I was going to have to order on-line tonight.

But I stayed with my search and actually got everything I was looking for.

Here are some pictures of what I picked up today.

This phone is really cool and it is actually for the (Hearing Impaired).
Absolutely perfect for my HT when it is cranked-up !!!
It lights up with a Flashing Red Light and also has a LOUD adjustable tone ringer.
It will certainly let you know you have an incoming call.

The Stand turned out to be a perfect size once I got it home and set-up.

I'm actually right proud of my shopping spree.




















Terry
