Forgive me, I'm a newb to practical Ambisonics myself (just starting to play with it, had mostly been just familiar with the theory in the past)... > Nothing magical will happen if you pan the 5.0 signals into > a 3rd or higher order AMB system. The results is just five > virtual speakers reproducing 5.0. Do you really mean third order ambisonics, or do you mean three-channel first-order ambisonics? I had been under the impression that it was unusual to run across actual high-er order recordings/playback systems and that most of the installed base was first order.
