It's great that you are thinking about this! I hope that you have ideas about compositions, and will realize them!
While I don't have specific recommendations for equipment, I suggest that you find self-powered speakers - speakers with the amp built-in. This will be less expensive than separate amps and speakers. You also need multi-channel recording software, such as Pro Tools or SoundForge. Also look at Cubase and Reason as software tools (I'm not sure if they are still available). Lastly, you'll need a hardware setup to send any track to any of your ten output channels. At the low-price range, there are several hardware options: Mackie, Yamaha and others make inexpensive mixers which you could use. You could use a software-based system with multi-channel outputs from a computer, but I think that would be cumbersome and therefore, restrict artistic energy because of excessive effort/attention dealing with menu choices, etc.
Lastly, your idea is not new, but is still quite important and artistic. Multi-channel music and systems have been around since the 1970s, and maybe earlier. Invariably, the systems are purpose-built for a particular composition and presentation. This is NOT bad news for you. You are an artist, and it is to be expected that performing a multi-channel work will require a purpose-built system.
I enourage you to explore various places where such compositions and systems are well-established, so that you will gain more insight into the field. There are many universities which have "experimental music" programs. Google that. Also, IRCAM in Paris is a hotbed of avant garde/experimental music. http://www.ircam.fr/ircam.html?&L=1
Carry on!

Hi and thanks for the reply,regarding the software, i'm using maxmsp with an external program that control the sound objects spatialization: http://spatium.ruipenha.pt/
Regarding the hardware, instead, i don't know precisely what i would need to do it. I think that i'd need a receiver for the decode of the standard i will use (example: 5.1). A simple mixer isn't sufficient: if i change the room, the effect will change. I'd need a sort of sintoamplifier.
Regarding the speakers, of course i will take active speakers. But i don't know how to choose it. I was looking fot these: http://www.whathifi.com/q-acoustics/3020/review, but really i know nothing about speakers. Too many questions running through my head
Yes, i know very well Ircam. They were among those who inspired me.

"i don't know how to choose it. (...) really i know nothing about speakers. Too many questions running through my head"Don't obsess over details at this point. Just get started. You can upgrade later.
You can't learn how to swim until you get into the pool. (I made that up all by myself.)

Yes: If you change the room, the sound will change. This isn't a problem.
Carry on!
