HI,

I have three questions. 

- Where in USA or Germany can I buy WBT rca connectors and what do they cost?
  I need an adress to a shop where I can send a check/order.

- I have a SONY CDP990. How do I decode the digital output?

- Can someone suggest a good and serious book about loudspeaker-box/filter
  design? ISBN number and an adrss to a shop where I can buy it is what I want.

Thanks in advance.........

I'm Planning on Building a set of *very* High end speakers over the summer,
For Woffers they wil use dual 12" drivers
for Tonal Bass two 8" drivers
for midrange two 4"-5" drivers
and a tweeter for highs
they wil be aligned in this arangement....
12
8
5
T
5
8
12
There is a possibility if I can find more info on them that the mids and highs 
will be replaced by an electrostatic driver in the design.

What I am looking for, is information on the construction of electrostatic 
drivers, and also information about any drivers you think would be good for 
my design(cone drivers that is)

I'm hoping for efficiancy in the 90 db range
a frequency range from 20hz-20+khz +- as close to zero as I can get it
I am willing to use electronics to get rid of bumps or dips in the response
curve.

Thanx for your help.
