How do you share the sweet spot?

Right you are, Oz. It is a physical impossibility. The sweet spot is after called the sweet spot, not pleasant zone, okay area, better than being in the other room, etc. That said, never underestimate the audiophile. With enough time and money it just might be possible to make things sound equally bad all over the place. Or failing that then at least over a 6 ft wide area.

If a guest shows interest or I have another musician over they are always offered the prime seat and choice of music.  After their choices are played I ask if they would entertain giving some of my favorites a go.  Nine out of Ten times I can see the expressions of joy and bewilderment that it is all coming from just two speakers and not a multi channel set up.  The joy of making music and sharing music is of much higher importance to me than taking the prime seat.  I can do that any other time.  To share a musical, moving experience and feel the sense of enjoyment for someone not into this hobby is quite rewarding to me.

What is a guest? Anywhere outside the sweet spot of my ESL57s sounds like crap.

On that rare occasion when I'm sharing I wouldn't dream of sitting in the sweet spot. The entire point in that case would be to share the experience. Well, to show off the system, too. I usually sit to the side, after all, it's still music.

lol
well, these days there are zero guests.  I'm starting to forget what it's like to have company over.
