Do some more reading. The z-systems is significantly different from the TacT in both operation and intent. I am not familiar with the Behringer.
Room correction EQs with omnidirectional speakers?
My speakers are Shahinian Diapason, which are omnidirectional speakers. Also, I keep my conventional, forward-throwing Audioplay Reference-speakers. From time to time, I'd love to set up the Audioplay-speakers, which - being nearly 6 feet high, with two 30-cm-bass drivers, are too mighty for my room. I'd like to correct that, and, if possible, would like to improve the sound listening to the Shahinians as well. I do have a German Audionet ART V2 as CD-transport, a Chrod DAC-64, and McIntosh-preamp and amp. My question is: Does it make sense and is it possible at all to use a room correction system such as Behringer 8024, Tact or Z-Systems, with the Shahinians, which work with room reflections? Or is it good for conventional speakers only?

Here are I am. Sorry for the delay. The PARC is designed to do exactly what you are interested in. As a company we direct all of our energy towards the acoustical environment. The PARC is an answer to the one problem that frequently yields very difficult, elaborate, and costly solutions--namely how do you deal with the bass room interaction. The potential solutions are: move walls so that the mode spacing is good, build in Helmhotz resonators, use a wall of bass traps, or use a device like the PARC. The PARC deals only with bass modes. It is fully analog and therefore does not corrupt the signal with an A/D or D/A conversion. It has 3 bands per channel that are full adjustable in terms of center frequency, width of band, and attenuation level. As to how it works with Omni directional speakers--the same as directional, probably better because they have a tendency to excite room modes more than directional counterparts. I would strongly urge you to work on speaker placement for the flattest response first, this will make using any correction device easier and more effective.
