As per my wanted thread here (http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?56829-WTD-DATS2-(Dayton-Audio-Test-System)) looking for version 2 of the Dayton Audio Test System either for an outright purchase or under a loan please?

This for a possible speaker build. The DATS system recommended by Paul C at RFC. Whilst, he says, I could simply use an online calculator for crossovers and cabinets Paul highly recommends that I build the speakers using actual test results of drivers rather than manufacturer spec sheets.

Anyway this just for a fun learning project. I will be using coral 10 inch bass drivers as the - um - bass of my project. Probably SEAS midrangers, not yet sure of HF drivers yet.

It's not that expensive, why not just buy it from parts express?

I have V1 and use it a lot.
As well as driver parameter measuring, it has an accurate Resistance, Capacitance and Inductance measuring feature. So even after your speaker project is complete, it will come in handy as a measuring tool for other projects.

Paul C also put me on to this a couple of years back and it has proved very useful. :)
