For that kind treatment I recently discovered something on DIY audio
called the reference project. It's a thread that's been going on a
year and takes some time to read (500 plus posts.)
They began discussing drivers and parameters.. one being that
standard boards would be used for ease of contruction.
The FE127e by Fostex was selected and (though I have not read the
whole thread) several projects were built going through all the
steps of testing and construction. Completed designs.. and the
final one I think... is a backhorn fairly compact and using
standard board widths.
Through it's long history, AudioXpress has likely shown all
the possible workwork techniques and so on for it's various
stories in the magazine. But no one has all 30 years worth
of them.
Some features like Darcey Skaggs tweaks for dvd players and
tv sets to improve performance are interesting. Bill Fitzmaurice's
projects are always fascinating to view (but daunting to build.)
The Nelson Pass 'kleinhorn' seemed like an exotic excersize with
no practicality at all.
to answer your question, I do not recall that an actual step by step
use of testing software like the CLIO setup was ever actually
fully done.
A nice noob version of "How To Measure Speaker Paramameters With
Cheap Gear and a Computer" would be good.
I heard a good quote that may apply here. Tt was in reference to
NSA snooping using the vacuum cleaner approach of spying on everyone:
"The logic of this approach to finding a needle in a haystack is to add more hay."
Though there may be ways to 'google' the best way to learn something
like speaker testing and that seems to be the panacea whenever
a novice question is brought up I no longer have any trust or faith
in doing web searches to solve problems. There is plenty of hay out there. :-/
