Steven Wilson released his fourth solo title named “Hand. Cannot. Erase.” this February through Kscope. Hand. Cannot. Erase is a concept album that is worth listening to in its entirety and following along with the images on the Blu-ray. What I find most interesting about the Blu-ray version...

Well said. The 'necessity' of Anechoic chambers is a bit overplayed when it comes to speaker measurements and designs. They are nice to have and make the measurement process easier and faster. But it's ignorant to think one cannot accurately design or test a speaker without one.

If the STS have an LFE input, you can still run RCA level cables from your receiver to the inputs of your speakers. That way LFE + summed bass will go to bass drivers of your speakers. It's a good idea to have the same bass signal playing on your large towers and powered subs to take advantage...
