Current-Driving of Loudspeakers Book Review

Since its publication in 2010, “Current-Driving of Loudspeakers" by Esa Meriläinen, was received with both enthusiasm and skepticism. Effectively, Meriläinen anticipated the criticism when writing in his book preface: “The subtitle of the book may at first sound too much promising or inflated, which it, however, is not at all; for as will show up especially in chapter 4, the issue is indeed about a fundamental fallacy in sound reproduction technology.” In this article, published originally in Voice Coil, July 2010, Joseph DeMarinis not only reviews the book but also runs tests of the theory.
