i would be happy with eight channels. (can i synch two zoom H2s?) i think ambisonics will only take off if there are cheap simple systems that many people can use. at home now i am setting up an eight speaker system, about 50 watts per channel, with a total cost including an eight channel d/a of less than 400 USD. i only have to wire up the eighth loudspeaker (why does inertia kick in right at end? i can understand at the start. fear of failure?) umashankar
