I was just listening to 'Little Wing' and was noticing that he really uses stereo, boucing notes back and forth. Are there any bands or producers today who are using 5 speakers in the same way? And a side question, do you think 5 speakers, or 4, will ever eclipse stereo as the dominant listening schema?

As I have only two ears, and a small budget, I'm gonna say no.

Five speakers will never take off, mostly b/c everyone today listens with headphones more than speakers anyway.

Jimi Hendrix Energy Drink in Works
Calif. Company to Market Jimi Hendrix Energy Drink; Some Upset Over Use of Guitar Hero's Image
CALABASAS, Calif. Jan 24, 2007 (AP)— A new energy drink doesn't promise to give you the juice to play guitar like Jimi Hendrix, but it does hope to give you a "Liquid Experience."
Beverage Concepts says its nonalcoholic "Liquid Experience" drinks, named for Hendrix's breakthrough album, "Are You Experienced?" will debut in April.
The concept is irking some Hendrix fans, many of whom still consider him the greatest guitarist of all time.
"To see his image and the beautiful feelings it has created during my lifetime cheapened by base advertising … is very disappointing to me," said bassist Michael Balzary, better known as Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The image of Hendrix, who died in 1970 from a drug overdose in London, has been licensed for products including baby clothing, an air freshener, lava lamp and a Christmas ornament. Portions of royalties have gone to several educational causes, including the United Negro College Fund, said Bruce Kuhlman, director of licensing and brand development for Authentic Hendrix, the Seattle-based company that controls use of Hendrix's name and images.
Beverage Concepts Chief Executive Josh Glass said his company would honor Hendrix's memory by donating some of the profit from the Liquid Experience to an unidentified music education foundation.
