The article “Exploring cultural heritage through acoustic digital reconstructions” by Brian Katz, Damian Murphy, and Angelo Farina (Physics Today, December 2020, page 32) gives an excellent review of the state art in computer simulation room acoustics. However, authors seem unfamiliar with revolution concert-hall, theater, worship-space design that started Peter Parkin J. H. Taylor’s work Londo...

Today and tomorrow’s audio and video, portable audio and multi-media applications put increasing demands on sound reproduction techniques. On one hand there is a need for reductions in both cost and size, on the other hand we wish to enhance the experience of the user beyond today’s possibilities. A good sound reproduction system is in general in conflict with the boundary conditions for consum...
