The Loudspeaker Design Cookbook: 7th Edition

[ShinOBIWAN]

Hi all,

Has anyone managed to compare this new edition to the previous one?

I was wondering if the extra information was worth forking out another £30?

The new topics seem to be:

- A major study on cabinet diffraction and reflection

- An exploration of how to produce linear behaviour with low distortion in woofers

- Tips & tweaks to ensure a great-sounding speaker in the new chapter on "Loudspeaker Voicing"

- An updated look at the latest loudspeaker design and room interfacing software products

- Extensive studies using LEAP 5.0 and the Klippel Analyser

The linear behaviour and low distortion woofer topic sounds interesting as does the diffraction and reflection study. The rest is only mildly interesting to me.
