I must confess that I don't know much about what you are discussing
about, but I think I read in one of the posts (that I already have deleted)
that "there is no need to place a lot of speakers directly above, as our
localization is at it's worst in that direction".
However, I have always thought that you need _more_ speakers (with
smaller angles) in those directions where the hearing localization of
phantom
images is not very good. You don't need as many speakers in those directions
where the localization of phantom images is good. In front of the
listener on the
horizontal plane two speakers at an angle of 60 degrees is good for most
people.
Elsewhere you need more.
This of course applies to when the listener's head is not moving.
Just ask Thomas Chen.
