The 2ch sweet spot is ideal for one person. It is a solitary activity. Know of any families where the members fight to sit in the sweet spot? I don't. Contrast 2ch with the pursuit of Home Theater. From the beginning HT has been marketed as a group and family activity. Movie Night at home, kids having a slumber party with scary movies etc etc. Another issue is space. A dedicated 2ch system requires its own space to be enjoyed to its fullest extent. Very few spouses are tolerant of multiple electronic boxes and large speakers dominating the living room. But HT has spousal buy in, hence acceptance in the living room or den.
