Only to find out you are a very strange audiophile who DOES judge speakers by how they sound from another room!So here I am arguing that the bass quality in the sweet spot is much more important to a two-channel stereo owner than the bass in other room areas ... with a guy who judges speakers by how they sound from the next room!
You worded your poll so that ONLY an audiophile with absolutely zero percent concern about sound quality at non-sweet-spot locations could answer "YES".
Since two-channel audio system owners sometimes have people listen from non-sweet spot locations, it would make sense that they apply at least a little attention to those alternative seats.
The sweet spot seat(s) location is still most important for two-channel audio quality.
And you can't sit behind someone in the sweet spot and still get the same high sound quality sound he hears ... unless he is a midget.
I give up! You are judging speaker quality from the next room ... while I argue about how important the sweet spot is for two-channel stereo sound quality.
Do you judge concerts from the street outside the theater?
Saves money on tickets.
Or do you just love to argue.
