My suggestion is:
1) Contact the audio companies you respect
2) Ask their designers which research papers they are reading and who their authors are.
3) Find out what schools those authors work at, apply to those graduate schools, and do your dissertation under those researchers.
I would be interested to hear what the results of this search would be. My understanding is there is not much going on in the way of home audio engineering research; so many of the design concepts are decades old that the significant work is on refining those concepts, not creating new ones.
