I will propose a heretical stand: The problem is a deficiency of the advanced playback. The magic only happens in one place and that can be severely comprimised by geometric objects that were not calculated into the listening environment. Maybe we need a new paradigm for advanced listening: a sweeter spot for at least two.
If only one location draws you "into" the playback, it is very clear that the second seat person does not have the magic. They can become distracted and a distraction. Romy, maybe it is time to think about making playback more concert hall like - with multiple "optimal" listening positions. Give your kitten a prime spot and share the glory. Give her second best, and she will get the delta in other ways! Cats ALWAYS know where the weaknesses are.
