For small areas, or central listeners, I do think there is a good
argument for not over egging the pudding with too many speakers for
low order material. But I am not at all convinced, based on
experience, that this is true when dealing off centre listeners in a
large area such as a concert since it doesn't take account of
differential distance based losses amongst other things.
Experimentation is definitely needed....
