    I respectfully disagree. I think they want lab results at bargain prices and there's nothing wrong with that. It's actually doable if do your homework before you buy. That was my point. I learned this the hard way, going thru 3 different setups before I was satisfied.

    Whether building speakers from scratch or upgrading and tweaking, DIYers are seeking to get that last bit of performance that simple economics preclude in most production systems. If that last bit of perfomance is shaving a 3dB peak at x frequency, you need the tools to reveal that detail accurately.

    Well the equipment might be able to do lab quality results on the cheap, but learning to use it is another matter. Skills take time. And guidance is not unwelcome.

    I completely agree, but learning to use it wasn't the OP's question.

    That's why it's another matter.
