I'm against the useless physical units and denominator. Just the
ratios of the positions to one another matter; the whole thing is
scale-invariant for all practical purposes. Otherwise I don't see
anything wrong.

I also mildly like polar/spherical coordinates better, but if you want
the speakers to be able to have different relative differences from
the listener, then it's probably more of a mess, so just stick with
rectangular.
