*much* more than 16 speakers.
yes, but you can use higher order ambisonics and virtual speakers ...
You can't squeeze N independent variables into M < N without losing some
information. If information is lost in your process of using it, you could
do as well without it.

that's not true - at our university here is a 4th
order ambisonic
implementation ...
Can you refer me to a paper or other publication about that ?
