I have one running all channels 7.2.4 and this unit in a monster, amazing sound and tones of power. My theater is alive , Atmos is wonderful and DIRAC is truly amazing. I tried a few other receivers in my build and nothing came close to the quality of sound this guy puts out it is just a magical beast.😊😊😊😊

Hey Gene, make sure to update to the latest firmware when you do your testing. They've added AURO3D and Roon Ready support, as well as a dedicated Pre-Amp mode accessible through the web interface (Miscellaneous -> Pre-Amp Mode). You can also adjust the DSP Filter (Sharp, Slow, etc.) under Audio -> Digital Filter. To access the full range of options in the web UI, you need to login with 'ciuser' as both username and password. Looking forward to the review!
Hello, I just bought rz70 yesterday. Change from onkyo rz1100. Tell me, does your onkyo also make a sound when exceeding the volume of 60 as if the power amplifiers were connected, as if it were entering a higher level? And then when I return the volume to 50, this sound can be heard again. Maybe at some point onkyo rz70 adds full power to the amplifier.??? It is irritating. There are new functions, as you write, DAC, etc.

I love seeing Onkyo still doing their thing. I’m fond of their sound quality for 2-ch music listening vs other AVR products out there. I also love their appearance, which is reminiscent of their 1980s receivers I grew up with. When it comes time to replace my TX-NR777 I will probably get an RZ-50 or 70. I do wish they still made matching Blu-Ray players, however. My SP309 is a beautiful match but does not play 4k discs.

My only complaint is that they have limited the Component Video input to 480i. Kind of sucks for my D-VHS player that doesn't have HDMI. You should mention it's sister receiver the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX805, which is similarly features for only $200 more. Also the Integra DRX-8.4 for about $400 more with more XLR connectivity.

I call onkyo stonkyo because they generally bring the power but they had HDMI board issues for quite some time, hopefully that's sorted. I would consider them if my Sony str-da5400es ever dies, 4 ohm speakers can't even kill it.

Yes! Thank you for what you do. Looking forward to the bench test. Would you do an RZ-50 review? I'm getting ready to add Atmos with the RZ-50 and found that I cant add a 3 channel amp to the front stage. Why would Onkyo do that?
@wispiwispi18893 ай бұрын
I just added the Emotiva BasX-3 to the front sound stage of my Onkyo RZ-50 without any issues. I am running 7.1 and adding Atmos in the future. The Rz-50 does require a separate amplifier for the last two channels of the Atmos speakers, through the pre-outs.
@CadillacJack823 ай бұрын
In my experience ( rz50)...I added 2 channel amp to get the 11 channels. The 2 channel amp powers the rear bed layer surround...not atmos.

@@CadillacJack82 I stand corrected. I just looked up in the manual and you are correct. You can set up a 5.1.4 without added amplifier, but if you add rear surround speakers (7.1.4), you have to use the two pre-outs for the surround back speakers.

I need a receiver, your thoughts? This is what I'm trying to push! Currently I am using a Denon AVR 1803, and it does okay, but I want more! So in the front I have a pair of Cerwin Vega AT12's, the rear pair consists of my Klipsch KLF 30's, and a Velodyne sub. This is going to be just to listen to music, not going to be hooked up to any video, so absolutely do not need or want a center channel. I want something just dedicated to, front channel, rear channel, with a sub out. Tried reaching out to ABT electronics, they said all the new stuff, is all 5.1, 7.1, etc, so ?

It has a powerful 1.1 Va power supply, all things being equal it will deliver around 75 watts per channel @ 8ohms all channels driven (11). It has the power to deliver around 160 watts into 8 ohms for 5 speakers,in theory. 🤔

Apparently a few years ago they finally fixed their hdmi boards problems but didn't market it as upgraded hdmi boards and try to get customers back. Also recently did bankruptcy as result of not doing that sold off to some of the big groups combined with other top brands. I was never going back, but now if the budget ever allows me I would definitely consider one if they include Dirac built in.

If you want a basic 11 channel amp there are plenty available. A receiver has many roles and people use them differently so it's cheaper to put in everything and make them all the same way than it is to offer different versions omitting various features to cater to a few tightwads who won't plunk down anyway.
