With regards to Onkyo (as well as Pioneer) receivers - they have a lively, vibrant sound that many audiophiles prefer over clinical and dry (typical modern Denon or Marantz for example). I have personal experience with all of these brands and have no hesitation recommending Onkyo. Yes, their higher-end models with Dirac room optimization (NR7100 and NZ50) are superior to NR6100/6050, but they are also over $1100 MSRP and not available anywhere currently. For an average home theater NR6050 is more than capable and a great deal at $499. Also, unlike MY2020 Denons, Yamahas and Marantz units, this receiver has fully functional HDMI 2.1 ports and should be compatible with PS5 and XBOX-X running 8K HDR - out of the box.

Quite frankly, I didn't think they were going to survive after the merger fell through with Sound United. I I'm glad they are offering new models.

TSR-7850 doesn't have 8k inputs.

but were getting nowhere with Onkyo, and I hope that's not resolved.
Personally, I am very happy to see Onkyo still around and also have no problem recommending them (especially if the support issues got resolved). In fact, I own four at the moment (HT-SR800, TX-NR708, TX-NR646 & TX-RZ830), and they're all still going strong. I did face the bad cap/no sound issues with my NR708, but they handled that for free well after my warranty via the recall.
My RZ830 is my primary receiver, and I am very happy with it. About my only complaint would be the room correction (I would have preferred Audyssey over their in house solution). I am glad to see them moving to Dirac.

Insolvency hit Onkyo after reporting a global revenue decline of 49.3% in its fiscal year 2020 with a record net loss of over $90-million (from FY 2019). The Tokyo Stock Exchange gave Onkyo a limited window of time to get itself together or be delisted from the JASDAQ stock exchange. - Mar 25, 2021
