what are the recomended freq/slope for xover?

not sure if this is the right forum as this relates to surround too.

i use a theta casanova and i have been playing around with the crossover for my dd/dts modes. i use the "phase perfect" setting and my speakers are wilson wp7's, watch center and surrounds with thiel sw1 sub. i have never been sure what the suggested frequency and slope settings should be (on the theta crossover)but i am sure some of you know. is it based on the speakers frequency only? i have read that there are thx recommendations as well but do not recall what they are. any input on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

that is sort of what i did. the surrounds frequency response is 45hz to 22khz and the center is 55 hz to 22khz. the theta crossover is set for front and center at 50 freq and 12 slope, surrounds 60/12. a theta guy who used to help me out had them set closer to 80/18 and l/r around 50/18.
i was just not sure of where/why the ideal settings are...

ironically, i actually prefer the sound of the sub where you suggested not to place it! i move back and forth but now it is centered. this is also thiels recommended placement for 2 chanl.

rleff- very little as they recommend phase perfect to be the better of the 3 for most situations.
