Onkyo TX-RZ70 140W 11.2-Channel 8K/4K Network A/V Receiver

I've been living with the RZ70 for 10 months. After two decades of Denon receivers I was worried about switching to another brand. The value Onkyo offers and the many praiseworthy reviews of the TX line were hard to overlook. The inclusion of Dirac is the icing on the cake. Makes me smile everyday.

Extremely heppy with this receiver. I haven't had a single issue with it after about 9 months of decent use. It accompanied a new set of Klipsch speakers, and I think it's so dang cool there's integration between the receiver and the specific type of Klipsch speakers I have. This thing has a crap ton of simply pure POWER to every speaker which my still relevant Yamaha couldn't handle - actually no Yamaha could handle what I wanted to do with the high watts /channel. I love how it barely heats up with whatever I'm doing: Xbox Series X at 120fps, streaming local 4K UHD movies, or using it as a WiFi network/host to play Spotify from (wish Spotify had better quality just in general) - but I do have a top-mounted fan for insurance. If you've done your research and find yourself here reading my review, you won't be disappointed

I recently acquired the RZ-70 to upgrade my 7.1.2 setup from the NR7100 to 7.1.4. I was surprised by both the new configuration and the sound fidelity of the RZ-70, which truly brings the sound to life. The RZ-70 is a beast, in the best sense of the word.

First week enjoying the Onkyo TX-RZ70. The unit is built like a rock must have some massive heat sinks. Everything on the unit is labeled which makes hooking everything up easy. The software interface is intuitive which made assigning all the input a breeze. First time using Dirac live to adjust the speakers to the room environment. Only ran into one small problem, I had to lower the output of the servo driven subwoofer so as to not create a Dirac error. After this small adjustment, it was sure bliss listening to the Onkyo TX-RZ70. Music was awesome using the Pure setting (no enhancements). All the surround sound setting was also sure bliss for watching movies. 7.1.4 speaker setup with the four height speakers really makes you feel like your at a iMax theater.

Only had this for a couple of weeks. I am more into 2 channel music until now. I am running a tube preamp/dac into this. With the multiple programs you can choose how you want to listen. You could do that on my old AVR however it didn't sound nearly this good. I'm actually considering selling my McIntosh MA6600 now. This receiver has lots of options. I started streaming Tidal (in the Onkyo app) through it. I have a designated laptop with music hooked up to it. My speakers put out plenty of bass but it is nice having my JBL subwoofer running the low end of things. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. I did get a great deal on it also.

The TX-RZ70 is an audiophile quality receiver with many high-quality features and capabilities. From eleven powerful channels of amplification, overall power, miniscule noise levels, high quality pre-amp that can be selectively enhanced with one or more even better quality pre-amps or amplifiers, to the ability to easily integrate with many external systems--you will not be disappointed in the sound quality, power, integration, flexibility and overall capabilities of the TX-RZ70. I cannot count how many times I saw reviews of competing receivers and double-checked... did the Onkyo have this feature? That feature? Yes and often better has been the most frequent and re-assuring answer. It's a great, flexible receiver at a great price, and a fine backbone for any quality audio/visual system.

Greetings everyone. I had a Yamaha RX-A2060 that I loved, but it broke, now I bought the Onkyo TX-RZ70 wow I love it!!!! And I'm still learning with the receiver, the first calibration with Dirac completely eliminated the bass, but I looked for a video on YouTube and managed to tweak it pretty well and I still have a lot to play with the Onkyo. I downloaded some Harman target curves and I need to apply it to see how it goes lol.

I gave the 70 a 5 star rating, although I would like to give it a 4.75 rating, don't get me wrong, this is a great A/V receiver and for the money, probably the best one you can buy. The only problem I have is, I really hate it when a company ( and not just Onkyo, a lot of companies do this) but I hate it when they put out a new "Flagship" item such as this rz70 , and then they remove features that you use all the time and that the item you are replacing actually has. I mean come on Onkyo, where is my Onkyo Doc connections and support and my matched outputs. I do however love the the unit and would recommend it highly, it does have some integrations that my other Onkyo didn't have, but I don't think it should be touted as the most powerful and best Onkyo has made, because I think my other one is more powerful and has more versatility, but this one does have more built in ability and slightly better DSP's and video processing. As I said before, for the cost, it has to be the hands down best you can buy, you would easily spend an extra grand on another brand to get something that compares to this one. I say just buy it and then place and install correctly the speakers for a 7.2.4 setup and run the dirac live full program, and you too will love it. While I know it a great receiver for other speaker arrangements, I think you are cheating yourself and really missing out on the beauty of this unit if you do anything other than 7.2.4

Wow! This is the excellent full featured System, Complete Technology covered and future too. Great Onkyo!

I bought the Onkyo RZ-70, wow, I love it! I had the Yamaha 2060 and it was wonderful, but the RZ-70 is something else entirely. However, if Onkyo doesn't release the necessary updates, it's really bad. All the other companies have already updated their ART drivers, but Onkyo hasn't! When will they? 5 stars for everything except the updates.
