Re: anybody have THETA:CasaNova impressions????

I own the Theta Casa Nova, which replaced a HT receiver that I had used for a short time. I auditioned the EAD Encore and the DC-1. I really like the sound of the Theta. It handles dialogue very well and is good for music. It can be complex to set up if you don't like to spend time deciding what type of crossover you want for your subwoofer, etc. I like to do that kind of stuff, so I like all the options that it contains to adjust your system. I really didn't like the lack of an on screen display for the EAD. I don't know if the newer models have that display or not. I got the Theta with the Circle Surround option and highly recommend it if you plan on listening to CDs or other sources besides DVDs. The Theta can be a little quirky at times, such as starting out on a different volume level than the one you last used with it, but this happens rarely, and is resolved by turning the unit off and restarting it. It has happened to me maybe twice in six months. I've unplugged the unit when I was trying different power conditioners, and did not have to reset my settings when I plugged it back in, so I don't know about the power outage problem that was mentioned earlier. Theta has excellent customer service. My e-mails to them for information were answered within hours, rather than days.
