The Absolute Sound's Illustrated History of High-End Audio Volume One: Loudspeakers
ublished on Apr 11, 2014
The Absolute Sound's Editor-In-Chief, Robert Harley, takes you on an exclusive tour of the birth of the high end's most iconic loudspeaker companies and their products. Packed with fascinating detail—including many never-before-revealed stories and photos.

This 320-page deluxe hardbound book is nearly the size of an LP cover and is richly illustrated with rare archival photos of the company founders, their workshops, and early products. In addition to in-depth profiles of major manufacturers, we've included shorter pieces on many other companies that helped shape the high-end industry, as well as new TAS commentary on the most influential loudspeakers of each era. And to make the book truly definitive, we've added a series of features on landmark technological developments, trends, and the overall history of high-end loudspeakers.
