Hi Mike,
A few notes:
Although the TacT RCS 2.0 is very good there is a
valid reason why they can
now be got for less than half price. This is because
of the huge advances
made in the RCS 2.2.
That's an "RCS 2.2X", not the discontinued "RCS 2.2".
Don't buy an RCS 2.2 - it's too old.
There was a time when you could get a RCS 2.0
upgraded
to RCS 2.2, sadly this time has now past, ...
Tact was going to offer a 2.0 to 2.0 mk II upgrade, but
couldn't get the chips for it. They now have an RCS
2.0S that offers the same performance as the RCS 2.2X,
but without the sub channels. A used or refurbished
RCS 2.0 is still a very good device, and an excellent
value for the money.
... IMO once you've heard the RCS
2.2 there is just no going back!
With the 2.2X, you can add corner-woofers like the
Lyngdorf (nee Tact) W210's and get fantastic bass.
Even if you have no desire to add subwoofers now, you
will once you learn what room correction can do.
Without the RCS, you're the room's bitch. With the RCS
2.0S, you're putting up a fight. With the RCS 2.2X,
the room is your bitch.
May I just add that customer support from
TacT is truly excellent.
There also is the Tact Audio Users Group
(
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TacTAudioUsersGroup/)
for beginners to advanced users. BTW, don't let the
advanced users and modifiers scare you off - we may
have our complaints but you'd have to rip our RCS's
from our cold dead hands to get it away from us.
I have the RCS 2.2X, a pair of the S2150 amps, and a
pair of the W410 corner-woofers.
Regards,
Tip
