You may find that you have to be a bit selfish about the sweet rectangle in the middle and let people you don't like sit in the side seats. If you don't you may find everyone is dissatisfied.

I suggest averaging the blue, green and purple positions. I wouldn’t worry about the orange and gray. Those are crummy viewing positions anyway, let them hear crummy bass, too.

You could then set up a second program on the equalizer and EQ only for the sweet spot, and use that one when you’re viewing or listening to music alone.
I'd be selfish most of the time. How often does anyone else sit in that room with you? I suspect most people would never be able to tell a bit a difference. I have pretty much always equalized my main listening position and anyone that has ever sit in any other seats still always say it is great.

The idea to average a couple to three positions might be an option if you have a second preset where you can store it for when that audiophile buddy comes to visit he will get a good response, otherwise, I would shoot for the primary position only.
