dear john just ten minutes ago i finished setting up an eight speaker playback system. the speakers are small (4inch) in home made boxes. at the moment they hang flush against the wall near the roof and near the ceiling. it is cube about 10 feet on each side. (slightly less top to bottom) i am using audio mulch and wigware for playback. i have a fair amount of A format recordings with me now, mostly traditional music but some fireworks and a dust storm. Playing around with the best way of decoding to B. the best bit so far has been listening to your smut recording. umashankar
