Where do you see the contradiction? Ok, here is more or less the situation:

Large room, 297 speakers spread over the four walls at ear-height. 
Speakers are one-way
mid-hi and around 4 subs are in charge of lows (not directional anyway).

The demo starts. You clearly hear the sound of the band coming from one 
side of the
room (and the song... is that actually Miles and John?). You walk in 
that direction and
can clearly "hear the position" of each of the players. Uhm, now John is 
moving from
left to right in the stage. You get next to the drums, you can feel the 
band around you.

You walk away from the stage and get distracted from the music by the 
sound of
clinging glass and melted conversations. To the right a group of girls 
laugh way too
loud as you pass by them. You get close to one of the corners of the 
room and can
clearly hear two boys discussing where to get the best shit in town...

And remember, all this with 300 speakers surrounding you on the four 
walls ;)

As a matter of fact I know the people from Iosono (Brandenburg a.k.a. 
father of
mp3) are trying to team up with construction companies so speakers are 
actually
embedded in living-room walls. We'll see it sooner than we think, I am sure.
