Actually, I'd be interested to know how many people on this list listen to surround recordings on a surround system for simple pleasure, as opposed to in the lab or as part of specific investigations of the process.
I try to do this; but it is not always easy. The most friendly media are DVD-A and SACD which have a good enough bit rate. These I can play and enjoy. Playing wavefiles, which is what I would like to do, while relatively easy for two-channel stereo, is for me a PITA for ambisonics. Someone suggested using an Oppo BDP-95 for this, but then I heard that it will only play one wavefile and stop, thus one wavefile per track (movement) is a pain: even an LP will play four movements of a Mozart symphony without stopping.
