Speakers - doing it!

Right, here's the plan...
Edited:
2016-06-05: Reflect rotted speakers in actions
2016-06-09: Modify to use Mac-based XOver initially to simplify and expedite initial efforts, and initial test approach

1. Speaker setup 
1. Download rePhase onto Windows laptop - DONE
2. Get A100 speaker(s) from bedroom - DONE
   
1. Problem... bass units have rotted foam and are utterly useless!! What's Plan B?
2. Plan B: Buy reforming kit from US, and repair speakers!! Might as well, it's $60-ish, at 1.40, so probably a good £40 value. This does mean that things are delayed slightly, but there's lots more to do - see below! [Note: Speaker surround replacement guys in States are going to take a week to ship it, which is very impressive!]
3. Conduct REW measurements to obtain reference response of current analogue XOvers
4. Modify A100 to expose loudspeaker units for direct (no crossover) connection
5. Connect A100 to amplifier (Chord? Myst!!)
6. Make near-field measurements of A100 speaker units using REW + UMK-1 (hurray)
1. This previously involved Focusrite audio interface and MB Pro; could now possibly be done with USB DAC + MB Pro
7. Export REW measurements to files
8. Import files into rePhase
9. Create FIR config files for A100 units
2. Software setup - initial
1. Set up XOver VST plugins within AULab on Mac for appropriate curves - uses nice interface, so easy initially! Will be IIR, not FIR, but let's get the speakers working
2. Will have to use current stereo DAC as Woofer/Tweeter channels - how do I do that?
3. Use Mac for source material - simplest initial approach
4. Connect Mac to amp via DAC
5. Test - quietly! Initial tests with pink noise preferably
3. Software setup - target
1. Set up BruteFIR on RPi as per Mac-based XOver
2. Use MPD as a source... might be easier to go back to original RPi rasbian-based MPD setup rather than Rune, so I'm not struggling with that as well!
3. Connect RPi to amplifier
4. Test setup!! Starting very quietly...
4. Final checkout
1. Repeat REW measurements with new DSP crossover!
5. Set up HDMI etc. to AV amp and test!

Fark! So much to do!! So little time!!!
