How do you share the sweet spot?

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.

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

I had a friend come over a few years ago and he knows nothing about good sound, let alone the sweet spot.  The only sweet spot he’s familiar with is with a woman.  We were sitting on a three cushion sofa-he at one end, me on the other with a cushion separating us.  I asked him to move to the center, which was right beside me, so he could hear the difference.  He looked at me for several seconds, kinda slanty eyed and said no-I’m good.  It was hilarious.  I had known this guy for forty years.  Finally I got up and said now sit in the middle.  Only then did he realize what I was referring to.
