So, I needed to replace a very old Receiver and was able to get the Onkyo Tx-Rz50 w/ Dirac Room Calibration for $1299 (
MSRP is now $1599!). I find Dirac to be fantastic for my use case.
This is a
call in only special and only for what limited "in stock units" they have at the special $1299 price, after that they are $1599. Hate that the companies like Denon, Onkyo , etc keep raising prices on the higher end receivers. Thought I would share this for anyone who is looking to pick up a real good Rz50 at a good price point.
Call Jeff directly at Av Science(Authorized dealer w/ a good reputation) at (303) 919-5775 & make sure to tell him you want the "Call in Special for $1299" on the Onkyo RZ50 receiver.
Cost is $1299 + Free Shipping and No tax for most(but that is YMMV) also they do not charge your CC until they ship it out and of course you get the full 3 year factory warranty on the Rz-50.
Hope this can save at least a few people on here some $$$ on this receiver until they sell out. As a side note, I have purchased a few things from Jeff(Av Science) over the past year and always great prices and very professional.
**************UPDATE----- STILL LIVE AS OF 3/3/23 for $1299(Onkyo Dealer Special sale Call in valid until 3/31) (5) in stock!!

Gets great reviews on Amazon and has preouts for external amp
To the OP: you shouldn't get mad at the companies that raise their prices. They have to do this to stay in business. You should get mad at your government and the policies they've been implementing.
I agree, thou these were about $150 less just a few months ago and the companies are getting greedy, prices will never go down again uless people stop buying these at this price and supply overtakes demand considerable. Now they are all blaming "inflation" instead of Parts shortages w/ Denon having the most "price increases" in the past year..... For my open room that I am using this in, only Dirac can really "Nail" it as far as dialing it all in. I wish thou it did have the full Dirac Bass module but we can;t have it all at this price point! lol

Yeah, Call uncle Jeffy...lol
I honestly do not think the Rz-50 has some of those same issues that the previous models did at least I have not seen anything by other owners on the forums.
I think I saw that some folks pre-ordered this July 2021 and didn't get until November 2021, so it sounds like a fairly new receiver. I'm not knocking the receiver, just saying that the company isn't the same as it used to be from a support standpoint and that was reflected in the repair center's advice, which it may be years before models start to show longevity issues. My comment was an fyi and not a condemning review, lol.
Agree how crazy mid-high end receiver prices have gotten. This one's too much beast for me (even the 305 is overkill for me but couldn't pass up the price), but could be a good deal for those that need it.
