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!

If a speaker "images" in different locations at the same time it most likely has no image at all.


Well I can assure you that is not true. Listen to a pair of Ohm, mbl German Physics or other good quality omni designs. The imaging and soundstage (when set up properly as always) is top notch. I have several pair of Ohms and have owned a pair for 30 years now and can vouch for that. I’ve heard mbl set up optimally as well and that is in a class of its own in regards to 3-d soundstage and imaging from most any location in the room.   You do need a very special room for that with those though.
Take a look at Ohm Walsh speakers where everyone gets to sit in the sweet zone.
