About This Product
    Product Name: Onkyo TX-NR7100
    Product Description: Featured review
    I have a fairly basic speaker layout, but this unit has all the inputs required to handle a bunch of old school gear (VCR, cassette, turntable, etc). Initial setup was a breeze and sound is great. Gives me a solid foundation to upgrade speakers, TV and DVD player.

    Best price for a receiver with Dirac room correction software but too many reviews with reliability issues with this model.

    This is a great receiver. Only downside is the 2 subwoofer channels runs as one. But Dirac is amazing room correction.

    I've wondered about exactly this. Is there any content that actually uses 2 separate subwoofer channels?

    Wow....23 lbs for a 9.2 AVR with class A/B amplification
    One can see where they cost cut here

    I get it though..had to get it to a price point

    Years ago Onkyo built 7.1 channel AVR's that were 55lbs

    I am not sure if we can assume weight loss for home theater systems is quality or cost cut. Look at the old TV's , they were heavy and the new T v's are light and many times better. So it could be that new technology is helping reduce weight eithout sound quality compromise?
    Also to my own point if it is fair to compare weight loss in TVs and home theaters!!

    We most certainly can if its the same technology

    I am willing to bet that if we bench tested this receiver against the ones that weighed more than twice as much in no way would it test as well in regard to amp/power supply

    Class A/B amplifier technology hasnt changed much is years...decades even

    Case in point...check out an old Rotel 1095 from a decade ago. About 85-90lbs for a 5 channel class A/B amp
    Today you can look at a Monolith 5X that weighs about the same and bench tests about the same

    TV technology, as you mentioned, has changed significantly over the years with different technologies of display technology

    Audio science review benched the rz50. Didn't do too well based on their metrics. Don't know how it translates to real world scenarios.

    I've had the rz50 since 8/21, it's been fine for me. Some on avs forums did have issues that warranted a return, but I can't remember what those specific issues were.

    Crutchfield only has about 29 reviews mostly good but Amazon seems to have the most reviews over 100 and there are many reviews which scare me

    Don't think it exists and I can't imagine that would have a benefit, given you shouldn't even be able to tell exactly where the bass frequencies are being produced. The benefit of them acting separately is for calibration/room correction of each sub individually

    All six are indicated as HDMI 2.1, HDMI 1-3 inputs have a 40 Gbps bandwidth and HDMI 4-6 inputs have a 24 Gbps bandwidth. Same HDMI input specs as the RZ50.

    No but point is you can't EQ the two subwoofers separately without an additional device.
