What did I expect? Not to have to pay $10,000 for an "upgrade" that doesn't even include room correction of the level that I can find in an inexpensive processor. Unreasonable? Not to me!
If you expected room correction from Theta, it may have been unrealistic at any price. Room correction became a non-factor in my decision once I compared the processors that have it against the Casablanca. It sounds better than all the ones I have tried,Meridian 861,Lexicon MC12,etc. I used room treatments and EQ only for the sub. Most subs have that on board. What room correction can not do is address the sound quality of some of these surround processors. Room correction which is really bass correction, can not repair the "glorious" sound created by those 2.00 op-amps. You can add bass correction to the Casablanca but not much you can do about the build quality of most surround processors. Room correction? See Ethan Winer .
