I use two octagons with one above the other. The decoding is much
simpler for Z with the angles the same. My decoder is based on the
angle from zero in front.

Subject: Re: [Sursound] Ambisonic Speakers what type to buy for 8
speaker setup
Hi everyone,Impressive setup you have there.I'm also building an 8
speaker ambisonic setup, although budget limitationswill force me to
buy something like YamahaHs50, KRK rokit, or Mackies...something in the
150€ price range per speaker.ThomasChen do you use two octagons one
above the other?I'm researching about my speaker positioning, and
considering two quads(rectangles), one vertical and one horizontal. The
goal is to provide asmall space (3 by 3 meters) with 3D sound with
ambisonics. Whats the generalthough on 8 speaker positioning?I attached
an idea of the placing, for illustration purposes.best regards,PedroOn
