Thank you for all suggestions!
I am also aware of t-design [1] for even distribution.
Does somebody have practical experience with those, except for virtual
loudspeaker arrangements?
Fons' 1+6+8+6+1 seems to be a good and easy to mount start.
Do you see a problem in increasing the number of speakers for the middle
ring, for 4th/5th order 2d playback?
(1+6+9+6+1 or 1+6+11+6+1)
Or is this middle ring afterwards "incompatible" with the 3rd order
periphonic setup?
I do have third and fourth order material as well.
I want to use this place to test my Ambisonics (ambix) Plug-ins which
currently go up to 5th order.
But of course I'd also like to listen/work with first order recordings.
Anyway, as Dave pointed out there might be a lot to try out and just listen.
But it's always good to have some opinions before starting to mount
speakers.

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....

1 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 1 works very well for full 3rd order
(with the rings of 6 at elevation +/-45).
That is assuming you have 3rd order material to play.
For lower order you should definitely use less speakers.
