My to-read list:

  1. Loudspeaker Design Cookbook
  2. The Complete Guide to High-end Audio
  3. Designing, Building, and Testing Your Own Speaker System with Projects
  4. Sound Reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms
And I have already read The Master Handbook of Acoustics.

Any books I should add? I'm aiming to build a set of speakers that I will hopefully never replace, so I want to get it as close to perfect the first time as I reasonably can.

The acoustic concepts apply to an active or passive crossover, since the needs of the speakers are the same in both cases. The simple but effective example crossover included here with formulas is of the passive type. With it you will achieve a much higher quality of crossover than possible using basic online calculators, and there is enough explanation to...
