Sound reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms; Floyd E Toole

Sound Reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms - Floyd Toole Vol 8

David Moran

This book is not really new, but important enough to give it a review in Linear Audio. David Moran rose to the challenge to review a book that, in his words, is both Magisterial and Incomplete. More an essay on loudspeakers and psycho-acoustics, this lengthy review does much more than give you a rundown of the book; it highlights how Toole views these issues, how he influenced speaker development and testing at Harman, and how he is a firm believer in controlled speaker listening tests.  David’s verdict: [a book] to join Olson and Beranek and a very few others on the shelf of profoundly informative and useful acoustical masterworks.
