    Never buying Onkyo and from BestBuy again

    Worst experience with this receiver. Certian listening modes are not producing any sound right out of the box. Onkyo customer support was not very helpful and declared this unit need to be sent for repair under warranty. I am right outside the windows of returning this back to bestbuy. I called bestbuy they wanted me to work with Onkyo.. But Onkyo does not really care and want me to work with the 3rd party repair centers under wattrany. I had spent hrs on hold with onkyo on hold and them trying to understand the problem. It felt like I wad the tech support guy and he was was the customer. I knew more about the receiver and its functions and capability then he did. Now I have to deal with 3rd party repair centers where I am responsible for shipping out the unit to them. Just crazy!!! I am switching from Yamaha and that was built like a tank!! Going back to Yamaha, Never buying Onkyo and BestBuy again....

    This receiver is very impressive for the money. You won't find a better performer at this price point. It replaced a Denon AVR4300H from 2016 with Audyssey XT32. Dirac Live is impressive but there's a bit of a learning curve with it but the end result is outstanding. Well done Onkyo.

    Sound is nice and broad. Full of details even at lower volume. Dirac makes a difference but it sounded clean without it. Perfect balance of performance and value. You will notice the step up in performance.

    This is by far, the best receiver I have owned. This thing punches better than any of my others in the past. My speakers are even outdated. My next step is to get new speakers to enhance even further the capabilities of this receiver.

    This A/V receiver is the best I’ve ever had. Onkyo RZ-50 is a BEAST I’ve been looking for a receiver to power my Bose 301s 201s and my center channel. This is the one it enhances everything it is a must have if you are home theater enthusiast even if you’re not trust me.

    Plenty of power and most of the current extras you would need. The GUI is a little outdated and don't love the fact that you can't externally amplify just the front 3 channels in a larger setup. Great for the price, but only Good AVR most 5.1.2 setups though.

    Great amp! Perfect for atmos applications. Very faithful reproduction of your movies and music. Other brands add their own equalization algorithms to the end product and onkyo is know for its more natural and “faithful” reproduction of the source material.

    Still tinkering as the technology has improved from my cheaper onkyo avr. Paired with decades old Klipsch Reference the speakers have more clarity. 7.2.2 will purchase power amp to push to limits adding 2 more dolby atmos

    A beautiful product for those who want to explore the realms of audiophile home theater and music. Is able to power my 700 series B&W and extremely versatile to support a multi room system. Dirac has taken room correction to a whole new level.

    I waited 8 months for this to come into stock and it was truly worth it! The Dirac Live room correction software is amazing! It is everything the reviews said it was.
