How do you share the sweet spot?

 My 2.1 set up  only pleasures me when i sit or walk in the sweet zone. If I have guests over, I dislike sharing my position so they can experience the sound stage.  Is there anything one can do to share the sweet spot? Is a 4.1 or 4.2 set up the solution? Does the speaker, gear, position and set up dictate overall experience?(I'm sure it does)
How do you guys share the sweet spot? 
Is it ok to be sweet spot selfish? I feel that being an "audiophile" is also sharing the experience. 
Your thoughts please. Thank You!

@mijostyn No way I'm letting anyone in that sweet spot.  I was joking of course, which of course doesn't work on the internet.  I'm very generous with my sweet spot, truth be told.

If I have guests around, there is more to do and talk about and there is a lots of noise, laughter, etc. that nobody really considers listening to music, much less caring about the sweet spot. If anyone is actually ever interested in listening to the music, that person gets a sweet spot. The only way a guest should be treated.

If erik_squires’ statements about Magico and Revel are correct, then the room surely needs to be carefully set up. I have Revel speakers and sweet spot, in a completely untreated room, is pinpoint. At the same time, who has time to sit in the sweet spot anyway?
