I am not an expert either, but I think you are wrong in thinking that 
the only "real" HVLP setups have a special electric powered air 
source.  I think that there are many HVLP guns in all price ranges 
that run from a compressor.  Of course the compressor must be big 
enough to meet the demands specified by the gun manufacturer.  Take a 
look at the offerings at www.eastwood.com, and you'll see both types.
