DIY Loudspeaker books
« on: 1 May 2020, 02:46 pm »
Hi all,
I'm moving on from listening and tweaking to making and building.  I appreciate forums and the wealth of knowledge that is there, but I usually prefer to get my information from one or two sources in depth and then work through the forums to answer the questions that I have after reading.  So, any recommended, recent books on loudspeakers and design.  I'm looking for both theory and the practical application of it.  I've surfed around on Amazon and other places and I've recent books by Martin Colloms, John Murphy, and Ray Alden.  Any pros and cons with those or better sources out there?  Many thanks!

The Electrostatic Loudspeaker Design Cookbook by Roger Sanders is excellent, even if a bit outdated:

And if that one peaks any interest; my DIY ESL website is up to date, and a pretty good resource as well:

Acoustics by Leo Beranek is the best and most comprehensive book for learning the theory of loudspeaker modeling and design, should be the first source you read.
