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
