Terry,
Those look really nice! I'm sure they are as comfy as they look. Can't wait to hear about next week - you'll be amazed at the difference, I'm sure.

Terry,

The lines of your Ekornes are very crisp - perhaps that's a better way to say what I was trying to get to with "tailored." Some furniture, as you know, can be very soft looking, with rounded edges, overstuffed pillows, etc - that is NOT this look. That the leather is in charcoal gray not only complements the theater, but with the lines, it recalls, say, some fine Savile Row tailoring. Congrats!

Didn't realize the electronics were being upgraded too. That's exciting! Probably need a new thread for that one...

John, ... I'll probably do a poor job of describing the way they look in the HT but here goes.
They really look like they belong and the reason I say that is this,
they don't have that puffy, big-look like something IMHO for a living room.
These just look exactly like one would think in their mind for a HT.
They are sleek, supportive, comfortable and just the right color to blend in perfect.
In the pictures I took I had no choice but to turn on the very powerful work lamps.
That makes the seating I know look like a light Grey color.
They are not a light Grey color at all.
Much closer IMO to a dark charcoal.

Yes there are major up-grades going to take place with both the Audio as well as the Video.
Plus a complete relocation of all the speakers in the HT which includes relocating the 4 Mirage BPS-400 subs.

I do have other Threads here on this site addressing the above.
Very soon I will be Posting up-dates on them as things start to take place.
The hold-up right now are the Custom Shelves for the rear two JML Mini Utopia rear surround speakers.
They are being made and the install should take place this coming week.

Here are the "links" to the other Threads.

Post Final accessories & parts installed on Stressless 2-seater

Hi,

Yesterday the Dealer came by with the "Black Wooden hoop" supports.
They had been on order with the original purchase but just arrived from Norway.

Also facing the 2-seater the right two tensioners needed replacing.
They provided very little "Tension" when adjusted to {Maximum} tension.

So they "Rebuilt" both of them after installing the "Black" Wooden hoops on the 2-seater.

One other issue with the 2-seater concerned scratches on the front side left arm.
The replacement came in for it so all three things were done on the one call.

Now all the Ekornes Stressless Wave seating is completed as ordered.


A few pictures:




The 2-seater with the {Steel Hoops} in place before the "Black Wooden Hoops" were installed.



Here it is with the "Black Wooden Hoops" installed now all the Stressless Wave is matching.










Terry

Like others have noted the Ekornes Stressless are very comfortable. I had tried other chairs in my 2 channel room but ended up moving this one from my home office. Not too high of a back, adds a bit of brick-red color to the room and I like not having an attached footrest.

Jim, ... I really like the Stressless seating.

One thing that I like is the way the Leather feels to the touch.

And as you point out one just sits down on one of these and immediately you are, (Supported) and feel Relaxed to Listen or Watch your favorite material.

If I had it to do all over I would do the exact same thing.

Also the Local Dealer has worked out very well with the Service/Warranty issues.
