Effects of Furniture Material
« on: 23 Feb 2015, 01:35 pm »
Long time Forum lurker, have some GIK Panels.  Starting to plan my new listening room in my house being built this Spring.  I'm starting to plan the furniture set-up.

I plan on going with one love seat, something from La-z-boy.  I wanted to go with leather but have heard negative things about acoustics and leather.  I want to get the facts.  Is leather reflective at high frequencies, or is this a myth?

Edit: Just noticed that there is an Acoustics Circle, feel free to move thread.

I did find this thread:

No it is not a myth. You can try this for yourself  with a heavy blanket over leather.
