Thanks Syd. Good reads. I've been looking to add another shelf to my library of hard copies. Much appreciated..

[subharmonic]

Good Sound - Laura Dearborn (meh)

Introductory Guide to High-Performance Audio Systems -Robert Harley (Meh+sort through snake oil claims - guess if you have a huge budget, unlimited time and space to implement the suggestions go for it, most tweaks help a bit...no mention of BFM designs )

Designing, Building, and Testing Your Own Speaker System with Projects - David Weems (good 101 on speakers if not a bit testbooky)

Sound for the Theatre - Graham Walne (great transition book for home audio to pro audio for guys like me)

Master Handbook of Acoustics - F. Alton Everest 2nd edition (this is the one for audio 101)

got all of those from my local library but the High-Performance one had to buy. Read a couple other circa 1980s ones but don't remember their names.

Got 2 more on the shelf as bday presents.
Master Handbook of Acoustics 5th edition and Sound Reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms by Floyd Toole

I had the luxury of going to a presentation by Dr Toole at Cedia 07 and it was a great seminar. Hopefully the book will be half as good. Plus then I just got into audio beyond retail stuff and nothing with actual speaker design or building.

In no particular order:

Ender's game
Lord of the rings
Lord of the flies
Pride and prejudice
Animorphs
Goosebumps
100 years of solitude


and many many more, however, I cannot list them as I've forgotten alot of things i've read, but if you need more recommendations, just let me know
