Excellent in-depth exploration of many points of audio power amp design. Very clearly written, though does assume basic electronic and audio knowledge. Cordell covers some of the same points, but the two books complement each other and it is worth reading both.

The service provided was very efficient. The price I paid was good for me and the book I received was in excellent condition. Just a remark about the long delivery time from usa to italy. But I suppose this is due to custom procedures not to amazon.Audio Power Amplifier Design Handbook, Fifth Edition

3.0 out of 5 stars Considerations on the book
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2006
The book is very deep in some topics but is very poor in design formulas. The formulas should be included, explained and can be skipped by the readers who are not keen on mathematics.

Some schematic diagrams are simply not readable as the printing size, or the book format, is too small.

5.0 out of 5 stars first rate
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2006
This is the third edition and so the reviews prior to 2002 are for earlier editions. The author makes equipment for recording studios.

The book discusses the different alternatives for circuit topologies used in audio amplifiers and their advantages and disadvantages. There are many SPICE simulation graphs with associated discussions.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much use for any design work G. Randy Slone's book much better
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2006
I purchased this book along with High Power Audio Amplifier Construction Manual by G. Randy Slone.If you want to read about

300 pages of information you can obtain free from Mr. Self's website then buy all means by this book because it is a repeat of the blamless amplifier theory, however if you really want a design book with the whyfore's included Mr. Slone's book is the book for you and should rate 10 stars for audio design. I really don't understand why Amazon hyped this book. I should have saved my money I expected more from Mr. Self.

オーディオパワーアンプの設計に考慮しなければならないファクター、スルーレートやノイズに関して詳しく説明しています。本の構成も非常に良いです。インプットからアウトプットまでステージごとに説明しています。またプロテクション回路などの設計説明の章もあります。非常に良い本です。

1.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but with atrocious print quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2024

Many of the diagrams/schematics are simply illegible and since the exact same ones apperring in an older release called Self on Audio are clear as day... well, you cannot blame him. Otherwise, it offers a great insight into his musings, which stay relevant, despite the passage of time.
