I was watching an old episode of Big Bang the other day and it was so funny to watch Sheldon going around the movie theater trying to find the acoustic 'sweet spot' but then it got me thinking - Do normal rooms have those?
It isn't so much rooms that have it, than anywhere with a speaker set-up. The sweet spot is just the focal point between the speakers, usually a pair, sometimes a whole set up.
There are some people using computers to make the sweet spot move with the listener. It would have driven Sheldon nuts!
You actually made me miss Sheldon Cooper. Finding that sweet spot is normally challenge for most of us. Luckily for me, our youngest sibling runs a recording studio and we let him fix all those issues around the house.

Study the concept of uniform directivity. Loudspeakers that are able to radiate a pattern that has constant directivity make a much larger "sweet spot." If you have speakers that radiate a pattern with uniform directivity, and if you have them setup properly, you can achieve the same quality sound throughout a large area of the room.
I will definitely try to learn more about uniform directivity. This could be the answer I'm looking for when it comes to having uniform quality of sound throughout the room.
