In an average household setting, what would be the size of “sweet spot” for stereo and or multi channel set up? From time to time I have friends over for auditioning my audio gear and since I plan to add a few more gadgets, I’m expecting more visitors in the future. When they do sit down and go thru a CD or DVD, I’m some what concerned that only one visitor out of the bunch is getting the benefit of the system unless they rotate the seat at given interval which can be distracting. Is it far fetched to say that there can only be one true “sweet spot” and its about the size of a needle point? If so, then one can also say that due to the nature of acoustical properties, home audio is a lonely hobby.

Those of you seasoned gunslingers, what are your opinions on this? At the most, I may be an audio enthusiast but just wondering where I may possibly be headed. Also, is there such thing as enlarging the “sweet spot”?

Thanks.
