The subject of the single listening chair is complicated one. The Macondo topology does imply a single and very narrow listening sweet spot and there is nothing the one can do with it. You can put a multi-sit couch in the sweet spot and only one person would have proper listening arrangement. My current (in context of listening rooms) girlfriend is mildly lobbying me to put a large couch in the mid of my listening room in order us to be able to listen music together. She has point as she is in my view is a truly jewel to listen music together. I can’t explain to her (I can explain and demonstrate to her but I never did try it so far) that the need of Macondo’s chenals time-alignment does not permit to have lateral latitude at sweet spot. Since human ears are located on right/left side of the human head and humans naturally have very limited ability for vertical sound-source localization we are practicing vertical sweet spot positioning. It is a bit “destructive” as listening together is not only pleasant part that she is good for but sitting atop each other unfortunately/fortunately the only listening configuration that complies with Macondo topology.
