I still have a nice pair of circa 1972 Scott acoustic suspension
speakers. The 8 Inch driver 3 way model. Finding a sealed driver (cone,
button, and surround)is not easy. But they are still fine and still make
great surround speakers.

I remember Scott's ad compaign at the time: the basic theme was
"Where do Scott speakers sound best." I also remember Jim
Wilkinson taping the ad to the bottom of the lid of the
toilet in the bathroom at the hi fi store where he worked.



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.
