Title: Build Your Own Home Theater (Second Edition) by John J. Adams, Robert Wolenik ISBN: 0-7506-7330-3 Publisher: Newnes Pub. Date: September, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $26.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 2 (4 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Not all inclusive
Comment: This book is all about the systems and equipment, how they work or not together. It does not go into decor of said equipment. No themes or anything like that, just the tecnical mumbo jumbo. It seems to focus on higher end equipment as well and does not give each manufacturer of stereo/audio equipment equal reviews or ratings. Some are just brushed over, barely mentioned. It is a good starter book, but definetly does not cover all aspects of a home theater design.
Rating: 2
Summary: It's History and Not Up To Date
Comment: The book is well written and the material covered logically organized. However, advances in technology makes this more of a history text than the current "how-to" book that I was looking for. You would never buy this book in a store because you would flip through a few pages and find out that Wolenik talks about DVD in the "future tense". I would buy an updated version -- even for a rank beginner this one is not worth much. OK pictures!

Summary: two words: outdated and elementary
Comment: This book is very basic and is well outdated by at least 3-4 years. no mention of dvd or dts!! according to the author thx is the breaking revolution??? I purchased the book in hopes of finding a few tips on the design and building of an actual home theater ($15,000 - $25,000). what i got was a boring explanation of dolby pro logic and stereo sound. if you are designing a $1500 system with a $300 dolby surround sound receiver this is the book for you!!!!
if not keep looking!!!!!!!!!!!
