Yes. As I mentioned - the whole system is calibrated properly.

Well, that's the plan - we also have stereoscopic projection in the same 
room...

There are a bunch of Max externals that place a mono sound source within 
the soundfield. You just define heading, pitch and distance, and get the 
b-format back that you can mix with the other sources. Reverb is a bit 
trickier, but with a bit of hacking can be done as well.
