Consumers today often use home-audio systems for both stereo music and surround-sound music, they buy multichannel systems instead of two-channel stereo systems, they may have HDTV and flat-panel televisions, and they have largely moved to in-wall and on-wall loudspeakers rather than floorstanding units. Questions relating to all of these changes are covered in a novice-friendly way, as well as Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio formats, and all of the latest surround-sound formats for home theater. The emphasis is not only on solving shopping dilemmas, but also on getting great sound from an audio system.

I believe it to be the 'bible' for high-end audio.' —High-End Magazine 'This comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of audio fundamentals replaces several reference works as the best single text on high-end audio.' —Audio Amateur How to choose, set up, and enjoy the latest high-technology audio systems are all given expert insight in this indispensable guide for stereo shoppers.

It is very helpful for people looking to buy an audio system. HIGHLY RECOMENDED! Rating - High-Performance Audio Systems I found that chapter 12 answered my questions on room design for optimal acoustics, and speaker placement. If you would like to gain audiophile knowledge this is definitely the book for you. Rating - The book is good for used as guideline. The book is very informative, but can be used as guideline only. I will take it as " Dummy for Audio system " Rating - Good starting point towards life as an audiophile. The author does a very credible job at covering the universe of high-end audio. It's a very good companion to the first book which was geared towards experienced audiophiles. This book is designed to be more of an introductory 'course' to music lovers who may not yet be 'hooked' on the joys and frustrations that come with the hobby but it does include sufficient new or different thoughts and comments so as to appeal to more experienced audiophiles ...
