You seem to be a rare two-channel audiophile who doesn't agree.That would make you WRONG with a capital W.
The sweet spot is where audiophiles sit when they want the highest sound quality from their two channel stereo system.
It's possible that two chairs side by side will fit into the sweet spot for some stereos.
I once sat on a three-man wide couch located very far from the speakers where the left and right seats sounded just as good as the center seat. That was a rare three-seat sweet spot.
I said the sound quality at one sweet spot is all that matters to most two-channel audio system owners. That statement was not strong enough -- most can mean 51%. If I could, I would re-write my sentence to say:
"When high quality sound is the primary concern, a large majority of two-channel stereo owners judge sound quality while sitting in their "sweet spot", rather than from other room locations,
... or from an adjoining room, like you!Therefore the bass frequency response in a relatively small sweet spot area is considerably more important than the quite different bass frequency response elsewhere in a room.
