I have to admit that I never read any books about loudspeakers design never had needs or interests - perhaps this why Macondo sounds so “different”.  I was looking through some researches and articles but I very seldom took them under consideration.  It is not found them wrong but I rather found them not applicable or not interested for myself. I do not accumulate abstract audio knowledge and I have interest ONLY in the problems I faced, identified for myself and understand practically.

So, I kind of in my non-intensive Loudspeakers Real-Estate Mode and I wonder if any interesting and generally educational book out there about Loudspeakers and Rooms?  I also might be interested in some kind book about construction of near-field sound reinforcement systems for pro audio application and methods of results perdition and correction. If someone knows any worth reading book about the subject then let me know. I generally have tendency do not like books that teach subject; in fact I rare ever read them. I am more biased toward the books that ask right question is a smart mentoring format….

I was looking on-line and found a book “Sound Reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms” by Floyd Tool

http://www.amazon.com/dp/0240520092/ref=asc_df_0240520092883598/?tag=priceg-books-mp-20&creative=380333&creativeASIN=0240520092&linkCode=asn

The Amazon reviews are good but it looks like the book is more about the designing of loudspeakers – it is not what I am looking. I do not know the Floyd Tool personably but it look he was working for year for Harman International – perhaps in his book he have answer why Harman under his technical supervision made up so many crappy loudspeakers…

So, I wonder if any books are more rooms-centric instead of the loudspeakers. I do not really need a guidance book “what to do” - I know myself what to do, but I would appreciate a book that would offers some thinking on the subject and offer the analyses of successes and failures patterns…
