Hi Eero, Al revers amigo. I dont know how it works with ambisonics and soundfield reconstruction but basically generally speaking your ears cant tell the difference if a speaker directly overhead is half a metre this way or the other - in effect your ears have lower resolution straight above so extra speakers are just wasted as you cant hear the difference anyway- conversley where your ears have good localisation you need more speakers as your ears are less easily fooled . This resulted in several speakers in the sonic lab at the sonic arts research centre being removed overhead as listening tests showed they were making little difference to the listener experience. Unless I was taught wrong - In which case Im all ears (pun not intended)
