Envelop is building a night club for audio nerds

Sounds pretty cool to me, though I like the term geek better than nerd. Wonder what kind/brand/custom, speakers they will be using. Also which flavor of Whole Sonic Overhead (think Ashley) will they be using Dolby ATMOS, Auro 3D, or DTS X?
:ugeek:
A link to an article about DTS X,
http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theat ... -released/
For the home, DTS:X will be scaled down a bit, just like Atmos. For now, the system will support up to 11 speakers and two subwoofers. However — and this is a big deal for home theater owners, DTS:X can accommodate up to 32 different speaker locations, meaning the system can maximize the surround experience, no matter where you have to put your speakers. The system will work with nearly any speakers you might already have, possibly even Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers, which reflect sound off of the ceiling by firing upward from the ground so users don’t have to install overhead speakers.

"We’ve been stuck in stereo for too long. Ambisonics is the future of audio, where sound can come from any direction in a 3D space. But there are few places to listen to this type of music, and it’s even harder for artists to create it.

That’s why a team of top-notch engineers are Kickstarting ‘Envelop’, an open source ambisonic music composition platform, and an ambisonic nightclub with 24 speakers and 4 subwoofers where that music can be played."

Envelop has already built the audio hardware and software for what may become the most high-fidelity public listening space in world. Now it’s trying to raise just $27,000 to install the sound system so it can start hosting concerts, deep listening parties, ambisonic music composition workshops, and more events in San Francisco.
