Vintage American Speaker Driver and Cabinet Design Books
For Altec, James Lansing (JBL), Electro-Voice, Bozak, Klipsch
University, Jensen, Cabinart and Wharfedale.

These three books are the only vintage books ever written devoted entirely to the subject of vintage American 1950's and '60's professional speaker driver and speaker enclosure theory, design and construction.  These books are treasured by audiophiles, acoustic students, horn speaker aficionados and speaker building do-it-yourselfers and are on every "must have" list for speaker designers and audiophiles.

There are pages of speaker construction designs, tables and formulas you won't find in any other books and all the information is from the 'Golden Age' of Audio, the 1950's through the mid 1960's.

These books are necessary for those of you who wish to employ low-wattage, single ended amplifier designs like those from Wright Audio.  Now you’ll have help designing your cabinets using the high efficiency drivers for which these books were written.

The books have been out-of-print for many years.   We sell only the original books in very good or better condition.  We do not sell copies or reproductions.  Prices vary according to condition and all books are subject to intermittent availability.  No returns on books.

International Orders Welcome
