Onkyo - TX-RZ30 9.2 Channel AV Receiver - Black

Comingfrom a yamaha aventage line 4K receiver. This receiver does not have HDMI switching or reliability issues. Most importantly, the room correction software is Dirac Live which alllows incredible amounts of tweaking and provides a sigjficant boost to sound quality. The latter cannot be overstated. The software will show you rook anomalies, and all the crazy fluctations at what frequencies. Then, it will flatten them so you get the flattest response (ideal) possible. I couldnt believe the difference. Even a non audiophile like my spouse could hear it. The details it brought out are crystal clear, and I feel like I brought a Dolby Cinema like experience to my home. Dont overthink it, there is no big competition for Dirac calibration at this time. The provided Mic works with it. I was considering new speakers for my midrange klipsch sytem, but this was the right choice. Night and day.

Perfect for our new 5.1 home theater. Using with Ascend Acoustics and RSL 10s Speedwoofer. Dirac Live is awesome. We set up one slot for when the theater is used for movies and one for when it is used for games since the gamer sits much closer. It makes a big difference in our room where the speaker placement is not great. Sound has been very clean and plenty loud in a roughly 12x18 loft space.

This is my first sound receiver...i was hesitant between all of the different options available in the market today....however, I went for this receiver rz30 particularly for its sound quality, Dirac Live room correction, and robust feature set, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and 8K/60Hz support. I realky like and appreciate its ability to handle various speaker configurations and its user-friendly setup process....i would say that the remote control feels old...and the app is meh....and for a novice such as me...it was complicated to set up and comprehend the multiple options...overall i super content with the purchase....

This is my first Onkyo receiver. So far, its been great! I have no complaints. Would buy again.

Found this receiver on sale for $799 through he Bast Buy Marketplace. My old receiver (15+ years old) was starting to act up. I'm a fan of Onkyo, so this was replacing my Onkyo TX-SR804 that served me well. Setup was simple (although the Dirac speaker setup was a little finicky and took a few tries) and I was up and running in no time. The eArc feature is great as it allows the TV and Receiver to communicate through just one HDMI cable. My wife is happy as we can now control almost everything with just the TV remote. This is my Living Room theatre and is powerful enough. My Theatre room uses the RZ50, which is more powerful. Since they are very similar in features the smaller amplifier was perfect for my living room. Phono input is a nice thing to have as well as a few other analog connections which makes it nice as I still have my VCR and Laserdisc player hooked up in the living room. Having the multiple zone feature was a must for me as I also have this receive power some back porch speakers and having the Zone 2 HDMI out is nice because as I can run any of my components and show them on the TV on the back porch as well. Overall just a really good receiver, especially for the price I got on BestBuy.com.
