Can anyone recommend me some great books about sound? Iam looking for anything that can assist me with the great knowledge of sound. Iam just looking for your intermediate type book. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Robert Harley's "Complete Guide To High End Audio" comes to mind.

I think another factor is probably not many of us read books about audio. Between monthly magazines and the internet, I've never even sought out a book on HT.

Michael, another thing is what do you actually mean by "sound"? There are zillions of online sites that discuss various audio subjects at varying technical levels. You can get books from your library that might meet your needs. I'm very familiar with Bob Harley's book and wouldn't suggest it for anything more than basic technical points, most of which he got from other sources(and gave them credit). Beyond that, he leaves the world of audio reality and enters into lands of fantasy which have no factual support and can mislead the new reader.

Michael, besides Sound&Vision, I 'll recommend The Sensible Sound. Along with S&V, it is in fact more sensible in its approach, with relatively little hogwash being served up.
