Performance: 89
• Plenty of wattage; chair seems to come alive in busy scenes
• The closeness of the speakers undercuts the illusion, and ButtKicker could be more on target

Ergonomics: 84
• Remote control for most tweaks: good
• The bottom-rear cloth-covered location of all connections and many adjustments: not so good

Overall Rating: 88
Movies and games in the RX2 5.1 Media Chair are an undeniably thrilling experience unlike anything else I've tried, with a simplicity and convenience that are hard to match. While it would benefit from a few refinements, the RX2 still sounds better than any other piece of furniture in my house.
