It was described in Stereophile (forget which issue but sometime in the last 6 mo). It's available on the Chessky sampler disk for about $15. (This is not the full test as described in Stereophile but an edited down version. However, as the full test costs much more ($50) and the Chessky version does the essentials I think it's a valid compromise). We tried the Chessky disk at our audio club at work and you could really hear the blips arcing over the speaker. (Some wag asked what would happen if we turned the speakers upside down? Would the blips arc under the floor?) We also found that toeing in the speakers helped the imaging tremendously. -- ray
