High-Quality Horn Loudspeaker Systems—History, Theory and Design. Bjorn Kolbrek and Thomas Dunker

摘要

As the title clearly states, this is a book about horn history, theory, and design. Development work and papers on horns and compression drivers have been covered in trade magazines, technical journals, and in texts such as McLachlan (1934), Olson (1957), and Newell and Holland (2018). Nevertheless, this topic for the focus of a reference book is a good idea and it has been superbly executed. Coauthor Thomas Dunker referred to his book as the missing piece of his library. For speaker engineers we can expand this remark to all of my colleagues. But if I need to be more precise, and concise, this is the finest reference work on horn loudspeakers in the history of mankind and the known universe. Let me lower my eyes and say I am not worthy to review and judge this work, but only serve to carry the message of its existence to members of the Society.
