There are two complementary papers on this subject by MG. The other is "Hierarchical Transmission System for Multispeaker Stereo", JAES vol 40, no 9, Sept 1992, pp.692-705.
I set up his matrices for 2 into 3 channels in RME's TotalMix and found the results very encouraging, with stable images. The only problem is that the left and right speakers need to be further out than +/- 30 degrees, which in turn necessitates a wider room. I intend to investigate this setup further when I get my speakers back from the movers.
