Yeah, I seriously would never leave that chair. Except for smoothies. And mail.

That looks like a Barcelona chair with straight lines... what chair is it?

Man - that's all I want. A room just for 2-channel listening. It would also be nice if it looked as cool as this room...

Some sound treatments on that wall behind the speakers would probably help with stereo imaging...

Toeing the speakers in and placing them on the long axis would help with stereo imaging. Speakers are generally designed to be listened to on axis. If they aren't toed in your treble is rolling off and if you don't have even polar response (constant directivity) you might have a big midrange dip at the listening position.

It does look very chic though.
