Gaiman on Wells

Neil Gaiman argues that the science fiction novels of H.G. Wells, while fine, pale compared to his short stories.

The speakers arrived last wednesday. My friend from CT and I attempted to voice them on our own. We definitely located the beginning areas of the Zone of Neutrality. There were multiple areas because of the irregularities in my ceiling shape, where extended volume of the room frees up the bass. We had a hard time locating the ends of the zones of neutrality lengthwise though (we are not professionals and the room is well treated - making it a more difficult task).
