Yes, I'm interested in what the speaker is doing and how placement affects it.
I'm also interested in what happens when I swap one piece of equipment for another.

Testing for Dummies?
If I want to test what comes out of my system, what do you recommend using?
Is this roughly the testing process? 1) load the testing software onto your laptop, 2) buy a mic and mic preamp and plug it into your computer's sound card (I assume these need to be compatible), 3) plug the mic output from the soundcard into your system's preamp in, 4) play something from the test software, and 5) bingo... read the computer's measurement of what the mic pics up coming from the system's speakers. I imagine you must calibrate some stuff.
Does this work (for the audiophile hobbyist, not laboratory) and what product did you find works well? Jeff
