But simply using the channels (after ambdec) > assumes your ambisonics speakers are at the positions 5.1 expects. ? what i meant is: drive your rig in ambisonics, and pan the 5.1 signal as follows: L -30° C 0° R 30° SL -110° SR 110 (using ardour as a mixer, five mono buses with an ambi panner in each, and an ambi master bus.) then you can do all kinds of funny things, regardless of how many speakers you have and where they are. individual volume controls included. and if the hole in the rear makes you uneasy, create some rear-center signal from SL and SR, maybe with a little delay, allpass and reverb...
