Thanks for the info, rbl.  You confirmed that TacT is designed to
correct audio for a *specific* listening location in the room--that was
one thing I was unsure about.  

Sorry that my question was a little vague.  I'm not an expert on room
correction and all of the physics involved, but I do understand the
basics of the approach and what it's attempting to accomplish.  

I guess my main confusion stems from not knowing the scope of FIR's
capabilities, and was wondering how well it stacks up against what the
TacT systems can accomplish.  I know that the TacT systems have one
advantage:  due to the fact that they act as the preamp in the system
they can directly modify the subwoofer channel(s).  A FIR system
couldn't do that.
