As I understood you need 2 instances of IR to load one M7-file each, one for the stereo file "left" and one for the stereo file "right". The output of both has to be mixed together. Then you have only one room simulated.

Did I get it wrong?
Yes, you got it wrong. I run two instances of IR because I want 2 distinct reverb sounds on some mixes.
1 instance or IR outputs stereo. And if you have the good IR files, like the Bricasti ones that I use, they are actually qudraphonic IR files, and IR and other IR reverbs process that down to a sophisticated stereo output image.

What exactly does quad mean in this context? Was the device that was IR'd meant to be a quad reverb? If these are IRs of real spaces, then how were they recorded? Just because something is 4 channels, doesn't mean it's quad. I'm curious how these are meant to be used.
I do not understand quad impulse responses but there is some explanation of it on the IR plugin webpage: http://factorial.hu/plugins/lv2/ir - scroll down to the "Getting impulse responses" section.

According to that page/screenshot, a the 4-channel files would be intended for "True Stereo", not Quad.
True Stereo is where one takes two stereo impulse responses, one with the impulse source at stage left and one with it at stage right. Has nothing to do with quad.
