Questions for Audio Engineers


Is there an Audio Engineer out there that could recommend a
book that an ordinary person could read, that will demystify
the scoop on constructing good sounding speakers?

What is the scoop on cables? Some of these cables are selling for as much as 100 dollars/foot..Would it be wiser to invest in a larger amp?

While i've never read the book that Elizabeth mentions by Gene Heal, most of David Weems' books are pretty easy to follow along with. I would start there and THEN look at Vance Dickason's book. Kind of like getting the basics down and THEN going deeper into the explanations, specifications and details. Sean

I know you asked for a book, but I've been working on the same idea lately and found these helpful:
www.diyaudio.com http://www.hayenga.com/basslist/links.html or just www.hayenga.com
http://www.sound.au.com/ (if you opt for biamping)
www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/1484/audio.htm
the last one isn't a design site but has five good articles on cables, and the middle url has two articles on cables and lots on diy.
