   I know nothing about Scott speakers, but I read about them from literature   
   in the 60's. What I do know, they had a small anechoic chamber. I was   
   staying in a motel in Maynard. One night I walked next door to Scott   
   through over a foot of snow. I looked in the window. I relived the visions   
   of the advertising flyer. Anechoic chamber right near the front window !   
   Just reliving a fond old memory of mine.
