Audyssey calibration: one point or many points?

[JimShaw]

Regarding Audyssey calibration. My receiver will do an eight point calibration which is suppose to make the entire area fill with sound.

But here is my thinking and please tell me if it is wrong. I sit in one spot and my wife sits beside me. All my speakers are aimable and they are all aimed right where I sit.

If I use Audyssey and let the receiver calibrate why not have the microphone placed right where I sit and not placed in other points which to me means all the calibrated sound will be calibrated to were I sit.

What do you think? Would this create a better sound in one small area then having the sound dispersed around the room?
