Just a heads up for people who collect old speaker building books

I'd be buying but Cecile says the mortgage is more important and it is her money at the moment.

looks like it has some interesting information in it.

not sure if i really said "no"

at least it's adding to a library, and not "you can't have too many woofers"

That book is a bit dated, but has some good ideas. Illustrations are well done.

Early Birthday mind you. Methinks February.

hehehe It looks like those Vifa's may have been in a damp environment... could be problematic...

I have a copy of "The Loudspeaker and Headphone Handbook" 1988 not sure which edition it is maybe the first (currently in a box somewhere as apparently all of the books on the bookshelf it was on I don't use

It was the first speaker book I purchased (1/2 price sale, and even then it was expensive!) Not the best first book on loudspeakers either!!
