I use a wider than recommended spacing of my Dunlavy's with my Sigtech. I used some room design software and RTA room measuements to determine the places where the room modal response problems were minimized. Then I picked a wider than recommended placement to listen to orchestral music. With any DSP, the algorithims are based on some assumptions about speaker placement. If you get to fr out of the assumtions the correction curves won't automatically hit the targets. As with my previous posts, you don't know for sure how close you are to the target curves on the Tact without independet realt time measurements. Have fun with your Tact.
Speaker Positioning with Tact RCS 2.0
Just received my Tact, but haven't had a chance to play with it (no digital cables yet). However, I was thinking about the issue of speaker placement with this unit. Since it corrects for room effects, can one get a wider soundstage by placing the speakers much further apart? Has anyone fooled around with non-"Cardas"-like speaker positioning? It seems to me that the Tact obviates the need for classical speaker placement methods, but I'm not sure where the benfits are to be had. I look forward to your input.
