Is not making a mountain out of a mole hill a concept you have never heard of?
You make having a pair of speakers installed in a room into such a big deal.
For any audiophile worth his salt it's not that much of a challenge.
Now if any given speaker has a built-in equalizer or controls requiring some set-up tools why not provide them for the price of admission?
I understand that there are many bourgeois out there who require a lot of hand holding in many important phases of their high-end consumer life, like a professional to hang a simple picture frame on their wall and, trust me, I feel for them.
If they think that speakers have to be tuned like a piano and are stressed out at the mere thought, certainly they should get a highly qualified person from the dealership to come over for at least half a day, but they should also consider following up such trauma with a day at the spa to be kneaded like bread dough or a bottle of expensive wine to get over their bourgeois anguish, probably both.
