    Speaker Manufacturers should heed his advice
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016*

In short, I keep re-reading this book - probably the last collection by Floyd Toole. I wish most speaker manufacturers would heed his advice and give the consumer the data they need to make meaningful decisions. As an engineer (retired) but from another discipline, I gather a lot of useful information in this book.  Sean Olive or other protege should come up with an enhanced version in the future. Discuss, please, the types of automatic room equalization systems available, and which ones work well and which don't. I've done a lot of manual equalization after the first steps of speaker placement and some room treatment. Various devices enable rapid measurements now. A means to bring all this data together and provide a downloadable EQ curve to a parametric equalizer is something I would like to see (as opposed to some proprietary algorithm where one just presses a button.) The consumer digital camera world has become very technical,  precise and accurate in terms of product technical reviews of capability and performance. Even in 2016, and at the most extreme prices,  "HiFi" continues to be defined by "snake oil" salesmen. And the Audio Critic is dead. Is anyone listing to Toole other than JBL?

    Non scientists need not apply
  

*by B***C on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2017*

You need to be realistic if you purchase this book.  The author is a superb scientist and recognized authority in the field of acoustic engineering.  If you have a strong background in the "hard sciences" i.e. math, physics, chemistry then you'll get a lot out of this book.  I have advanced degrees in biological sciences and frankly much of this book was too complex for me.  It should also be said, at least IMO, that the book could be edited very substantially as quite a bit of material is repeated and again IMO quite a bit is unnecessary.  If you are determined you will glean very helpful tips about speaker placement and a greater understanding of low frequency behavior in rooms, but it will be painful and time consuming.  The folks at Audioholics reference Dr. Toole often and they manage to distill his teachings into much more practical and easy to digest bits on their YouTube channel.

    A standard reference - the 1st book to purchase on audio
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2016*

This book is a standard reference that should be in everyone's library who is interested in home audio and home theaterIn an easy to read format the book provides the results of decades of research performed by Dr. Toole (with support from other excellent staff) at Harmon International.  The results of real research, not just opinions, are hard to come by in the audio field.  This book demonstrates what factors are important in loudspeaker response, how loudspeakers fit into rooms, subwoofer and room interactions, and much more.I've had a copy of the book for several years.  I just purchased another copy to be circulated among members of a local audio club.  The book would make a great gift for someone you know who is into audio.
