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 used to have the Casablanca I, so I'm not familiar with the crossover features of the III, and I have Von Schweikert speakers, though not the same models as yours - but with your setup I would set every speaker as full/large and direct the .1 channel to the subwoofer and be done with it. Or at least start with that configuration and experiment from there.

Rkissner: "Malcolm02, when you indicate the .1 channel, what do you mean?"

The .1 in 5.1, ie. the subwoofer/LFE channel. So your speakers are running full range for the 5 main channels, which yours are capable of handling, and the subwoofer is only handling the channel that is explicitly assigned to it. Simple and straightforward, and you can spend more time listening to music and watching movies and less time fussing with crossovers. My 2 cents anyway. Or you could experiment with crossing over the center and surrounds, but you mains are flat to 20Hz, right?
