This Forum doesn't mention Ambisonia.com, so I thought I would post a thread doing so. Most Ambisonic people will already know about it; this post is targetted at others who might be browsing.
At Ambisonia.com there are over 200 Ambisonic pieces available for free download. These are in B-Format (not UHJ), and almost all of them are full-sphere. For full-sphere you will need a minimun of six or eight speakers (depending on the configuration), and more is better. Some of the speakers will need to be placed above and below the level of the listener's ears.
You will also need a decoder to play the B-Format soundfields. Ad hoc software decoders are available. Details of these are in the Ambisonia.com Wiki. If you don't want to bother setting up a decoder then you can download any of the pieces as DTS CD images. The DTS versions are pre-decoded for four speakers arranged in a square (but you lose the possibility of height).

Martin
