Most so. It isn't as though the mess of cables hasn't been a topic even on *this*, before. Most certainly that pesky wife of yours will prove an obstacle to them audio-grade cables running all over floor, ceiling and walls.

At the same time, the standard would have to have a microsecond accurate timing reference, and a similarly accurate delivery gurantee from signal to physical sound, built in, if it was to do any good in the long run for ambisonic and/or WFS, as the two holophonic standards. Moreover, it had better have self-calibration built in, even in spatial measurables, with each speaker able to measure its precise distance from each other, so that the entire rig geometry could at *least* be measured/known, if not outright utilized from the start.
I'm seeing neither capability in that standard. So I'm not too ipressed with it. Unless you just want to deliver inexact x.y sound, instead of true surround.
