I understand - most of my stuff is site specific so thus my views. If scalability and portability are important to you - you might also want to check out Dolby and DTS's competing new object based 3D audio software - no idea how easy it is to get your hands on Dolbys - but DTS should be approachable. DTS say their system lets you put in the speaker array map and then the file adjusts to the array - so one file is compatable with multiple arrays., not sure about Dolbys.
