It's implied, but not really explicitly given in

'Ambisonics Encoding of Other Audio Formats for Multiple Listening Conditions' by Daniel, Jérome; Rault, Jean-Bernard; Polack, Jean-Dominique

AES Convention:105 (September 1998) Paper Number:4795.

I think there's a corrected version on Jerome's website.

Is there a good reference for that important point?

If the min is (N+1)².
Surely for 3rd order that is
(3+1)² = 16 speakers?
The minimum is (M + 1)^2 for 3D, and (2 * M) + 1 for 2D, but

- You better use at least on more,
- For 3D, the minimum is 8, even for first order. That is because
   the the equations above assume a systematic decoder, but a decoder
   should be systematic only at LF, and for anything based on energy
   vectors the angle between the speakers can't be too big.
Ciao,
