Post Subject: No cigars....Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/10/2020
I did a few times more efforts to look into this book but I
was constantly was turning off by a feeling that I do not need it. It is not
the information that in the book not valid but from what I do or am interesting
I feel that the information in the book is not useful to me. If the book was called
“Horn Loudspeaker Systems” then if might be
OK a reference academic book, even though it has quite a lot of historic omissions.
However, I was interested in that book as “High Quality Horn Loudspeaker Systems”.
In my mind what book is failed to answer is what makes Horn Loudspeaker Systems
to be High Quality. The High-Quality aspect is the key and from what I saw there
was no analyses in the book of any kind. I might understand that the authors
would like to ask as “scientists”, do not take sides and to present raw data
but frankly speaking I accepted from them much more. The whole idea of to be
smart and experienced is that you are able to elevate yourself 60.000 feet up
and to observe not fact but tendencies. Churchill use to say: if you want to
confuse ordinary people then give them fact. The others do give some fact but
they do not guide the reader over the connection of the fact, the relativity of
the fact and do not observe how the fact serve the purpose of Higher Quality.
Yes, it is a good book collector item, or a good prop to make eBay listing but
not so valuable methodology to audio people. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
