you know, for every email you guys write about this tired old topic, i have _set up_ and _calibrated_ a higher order ambisonic system, and believe me, that's way more exciting.
can you please stick your heads out the window eventually? it's 2012, bandwidth is ridiculously cheap, storage even more so [1]. there is absolutely no valid argument to be made against very high orders indeed for production and archival. get it in your heads that there is a difference between what the consumer uses and what the production format is. this is what ambisonics is all about: scalability. you get to keep your meridians and your four quad speakers, and everyone can just live happily ever after.
