Probably the best subwoofer tester of all time has left us prematurely. Tom's rigorous scientific approach to high fidelity measurements and the conclusions drawn from them alienated him from many in the "Audiophile" community. That is of no consequence. The body of his work remains as a...

So I just blacked out the front of my home theater room around the screen and five feet out into the room on the side walls and ceiling (buck a yard or so flat black fabric from Wal-Mart and some tacks).
