    You'd think they'd include shipping.

    The loudspeaker drive unit of the 1980s hardly differed from those designed by Rice and Kellog sixty years earlier, except that it had primarily become a commoditized component designed for simple mass production rather than quality. With a few noteworthy exceptions, progress had almost been replaced by stultification. It is a matter of some concern that the loudspeaker industry is in danger of falling into disrepute. The intending purchaser of a drive unit or a complete loudspeaker cannot rely on the specification. Virtually all specifications are free of any information regarding linear or harmonic distortion and the result is a range of units with apparently identical specifications which sound completely different, both from one another and from the original sound. Almost invariably the power level at which the sound is reasonably undistorted will be a small fraction of the advertised power handling figure.

    Good quote from the book.

    The reflex, ABR, bandpass and transmission line principles certainly do extend the frequency response of loudspeakers, or permit a reduction is size when compared to a conventional sealed enclosure and this has led to their wide adoption. However, concentrating on the frequency domain alone does not tell the whole story. Although the frequency domain performance is enhanced, the time domain performance is worsened. The LF extension is obtained only on continuous tone and not on transients. In this respect the bandpass enclosure is the worst offender whereas the true transmission line causes the least harm

    Does the book maybe include the lottery bingo? :-D
