Re: [LAU] more than 4 channels for listening? Really?

I am currently in the process of building an eight-channel ambisonics setup in my home-office. Size is about 3x3x2.5 meters. With the currently finished 4 channels the surround is good. But it still has problems with imaging the sources. Originally I was thinking about six channels in the plane and two over-head to have a half-sphere. But I will definitely try eight-channels in the plane before. I think it will sound better then six channels... So if you want anything more then 2D, you have to get more then four channels. As a bonus this will also sound better with the 5.1 and 7.1 movies:-) Have fun, Arnold
