Theta Digital Casablanca III and Von Schweikert

Do any of you have experience in setting up the CB III with Von Schweikert Speakers? Maybe with any set of speakers? My confusion lies in the setting of the different crossovers, high pass and low pass filters, and slopes. I am not familiar with "phase relationships and vector mathematics" as the manual says.

My setup of VSA speakers are VR4 SR-MKI as the left/right, a single Unifield 2 as a center, TS-150s as surrounds and S1 as the subwoofer. Any help that you can provide would be great.

I don’t believe a specific brand of speakers have a lot to do with the crossover and slope settings you’ll eventually choose. With the Casablanca enabling you to set up three crossover types and individually change the slope settings with the remote while listening, you get the best of both worlds to trim the slope settings to your own ear… and choose the crossover type that sounds best to you. The FULL, XOVER, FUL/LP setting are more purpose dependent.

I hope you’re using the Theta “Master Quickstart Guide” to set up your Casablanca. That takes 99% of the hocus-pocus out off the table.

Rkissner... There's a guy that lives in Richmond, Indiana that Theta refers prospects to when a Theta owner is looking for someone to set up their system. If you’re interested, I’ll forward what contact information I have. I would think that he prefers to be “hands-on” in the set-up, but for a fee he might be willing to consult with you over the phone.

Also, if you look at Theta’s website, you’ll find that Theta owners can actually download the settings that others are using.

Ray... I forwared the information you requested via the AudiogoN Member Lookup / Send Message option. If for some reason you don't get it, let me know.
