system to experiment with 3D audio

[saltp8]

Hello. this is my first post here. If I'm asking for something meaningless, please do not get angry. Then, I go straight to the point. I need a system to experiment with 3d audio with the following characteristics:

1) number of speakers: at least 10
2) each speaker is easily movable, transportable; possibly rests on the ground like a mic with a stand as a base (no screw, drills, attaching to the wall, etc);
3) fully programmable configurative system: to each speaker you can also be assigned only one channel, so as to more speakers can be assigned the same channel;
4) the software to manage it must be somehow integrable to Max MSP (or similar programs, no daw)
5) each speaker must have a bar so as to be able to be adjusted in elevation
6) rotating head for each speaker

what i'm asking is:

1) Is there a commercially available system that does this?
If yes:
1.1) Which is the cheapest?
If no:
1.2) Can i do this system with speakers that are not part of a system, ie separated?

Thanks so much,
Leonardo.

Trinnov Audio is the only name that comes to mind for 3D Audio involving dozens of speaker channels. There is nothing cheap about this equipment though. Nor is your custom install idea of hanging speakers on poles.

Not sure what kind of experimenting you want to do, but this is genuine 'bleed-edge' technology. Ten's of thousands will be needed!

Pro style monitor stands might do the aiming/leveling you talk about, and I also had the name Trinnov pop in my head....speakers are generally sourced on their own merits, outside of a "system" fwiw.
