Q: QuestionI just bought this Receiver and wanna do a set of Dolby Atmos speakers. Where would I hook these into? Thanks

Asked 2 years ago by JoeyT.

• A:Answer That is not a simple question. The receiver supports 5.1.4 without any extra equipment needed. Plus, it can drive fairly difficult speakers. Also, depends on your budget and sound requirements. If you have 9 foot ceilings, you can go with speaker that have upward firing speakers built in or put ones on like Polk Reserve R900 Height Module Speaker as an example. If you want to go all out, you can have height speakers installed in your listening area. I would google 5.1.4 dolby atmos to research. I think any decent 5.1 setup where you can buy 4 more satellites for heights will be a good start. In ceiling speakers for heights is yet another option.

Q: QuestionJust curious if anyone has compared sound quality between the RZ50 and Marantz SR7010 or similar Marantz Receivers. Looking to upgrade from my Marantz but haven't found anything that compares sound wise yet.

Asked 3 years ago by ItsMe.

• A:Answer I currently have the marantz sr7010 av receiver. I do not have the onkyo RZ50 but am seriously looking to buy it. I read a review somewhere (I think amazon) where somebody wrote that the onkyo RZ50 was better than the marantz sr7010 av receiver. my marantz does not have 2.1 hdmi ,imax,or dirac live ,which is why i would consider the ONKYO to be an UPGRADE over the marantz!

Q: QuestionWhen is the Onkyo TX RZ50 gonna be in stock?

Asked 4 years ago by Sg1ds9.

• A:Answer A local authorized Onkyo dealer is now stating that these are backordered until the end of January 2022. I wouldn't be surprised if the availability date continues to get pushed back beyond that. The industry chip shortage is causing a lot of supply issues right now.

Q: QuestionWhat is the maximum watts per channel this receiver produces? It does not state anywhere. Thanks.

Asked 3 years ago by Ongoboy123.

• A:Answer 120 two-channel into 8 ohms, with reserve for higher into 4 ohms. Naturally into five or seven channels, wpc goes down, as is normal for avrs... but 120 good solid base watts is spec and the reviews I've seen confirm it... that's plenty. Supposedly an amazing avr, with a solid user-friendly streamer too. A bang-for-your-buck "statement product" for Onkyo.
