Hi Alfons!

I went to ambisonic and read the FAQ. I do not agree with them when they
say that 2-channel stereo is only good for imaging between the speakers.
It is possible by using phase differences (and the assumption that
people are not living in sound-dead laboratories) to project sounds
outside of the stereo-field.

I did not find anything either to support that 4-channel is superior to
7-channel ... Maybe I was not looking hard enough ??
