My experience has been that when you equalize for the sweet spot, response is perfectly acceptable for most other seating, assuming that all seating is at least a few feet away from boundaries.

If you have seating that is a mixture of against and away from boundaries, that’s where it gets challenging. Some people try to average response for all seats. However if music listening is important to you, then I’d just EQ for the sweet spot, and everyone else is on their own. After all, accuracy is more important for music than movies, since movie bass is mostly boom and rumble.
