Nikhil, While there are a number of Tact/SB users on this forum, I suggest you join the Tact users forum at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TacTAudioUsersGroup/. There are many who are happy to help new users. As a long time user,I suggest you just set it up, run your measurements and set up an initial correction curve that generally follows the measurement curve for your system, but smooths out the peaks. If you find you have large dips in the measurement due to nulls in your room, you can't really fix these with room correction and will need to reduce the level of correction at these points or move the speakers around. If you have a null, no amount of correction can fix it. Listen to your favourite music and see what you think. With some hands on experience you can then ask the users for specific advice. The best approach is to gain some familiarity and experience and then start the interesting process of optimizing the system. There is a learning curve, so don't feel frustrated if it seems too complicated at first!
