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 ??

Industri standard these days is 7.1, which by the way is no near perfect
but at least affordable.
The ITU n.1 speaker layouts may be 'industry standard', but they
are not just 'no near perfect' but also completely useless for any
realistic surround sound rendering. These system are designed to
create sound effects for movies and home theatre, but for serious
music and scientific work they are just complete crapp.
