It's not like test equipment is expensive. I assume you have a PC, unless you use a phone to post. Software is free, HolmImpulse and REW being just two examples. All that leaves is a USB mic, like this:
Follow Ups:
Yes I've installed REW, all I need is a decent microphone. Thanks for the link!
Soon as I start setting up all my 'vinyl, tubes and horns' (after a 2+ year hiatus), I'll likely get one.
This will be the first time in a long time that I would actually be able to DO something based on measurements, as our 'casita' will be mostly a dedicated listening space and I can place stuff wherever I wish.
It's a not-quite-square, 400+/- sq. ft. space/studio with WAY too many windows 'natural light' because everyone in Northern New Mexico is an artist (except me) and has to have a 'studio' attached to their home.
Never REALLY comfortable with the Edgar Titans, as good as they are, with complex music and I think it has to do with Bruce's preference to first order x-overs. Fine between the salad bowel and the Fane tweeter but for the folded horn mid-bass? Not so good.
WAY too much higher-than-500Hz stuff bouncing around inside that folded horn and trying to get out (or so I suspect).
Best horn speaker system I can recall hearing used the DEQX system for x-over, phase and time alignment((Steve and Rich's 'COGENT' horns). Maybe those horns sounded great because Steve and Rich are such great guys? Could be. Seems that's how audio gear works.
But they even sounded great with Romy in the room, so I'm going with great sounding horns!
