It's really not possible to evaluate this with just two speakers. > Would you recommend then for 6 speakers, 2nd order ambisonic for the > simulated room reflections (and jconvolver tail reverb) and > vector-panning (vbap) for the direct? VBAP wil provide a sharper image if the direction is close to a speaker, but it will tend to 'prefer' those directions and reveal the speakers as the source more than AMB will. But you need to evaluate this with a complete system, not just two speakers. 2nd order would be a corner case, and I'm quite interested in any results you would be able to report.
