I can't believe it's 2023 and we're still talking about Onkyo HDMI issues. They haven't had HDMI issues in ages.

Bestbuy has $300 off ( $1599-$300=$1299) on this receiver(RZ50).
It's a great deal for a receiver with Dirac.

So the new units are at the same price as the refurbs direct from Onkyo

Seems like a good deal on the best room correction system at anywhere near this price point

Give high consideration on running this with a separate amp

I have a 6 channel amp to pair with this, so I will need to use some it's internal amp channels. Is there a way to selectively turn off some of the amp channels to hopefully avoid its power limiting issue?

Nvm: Found the answer, it goes into power limiting mode even with no speakers connected using full pre outs.

The one posted is new. The other one direct from Onkyo is refurbished.

Same price on Amazon, thought about posting this deal myself.

I have had it for over a year and it has been great.

I am considering this but I can't get a straight impression on if the speaker calibration is better than Sony's 360 spatial audio.

I would hold out for the Sony measurements and reviews. That's supposed to *try* and compete with Dirac Live's flagship "active room treatment" for a fraction of the cost. This feature is typically only on the flagship AVR's like the denon avr-a1h ($6500 retail). Sony 360 avr's are supposed to be between $900-3300 or so.

I was going to buy this receiver to upgrade from my Yamaha rx2070, due to this having Dirac calibration. But been seeing a lot of people having issues with Onkyo, so I will hold off an either get an anthem or arcam receiver.

Same here I am still using a yamaha tsr-7810 but will wait for an anthem pre/pro with external amp.

According to what I've read and seen, (1) Dirac live calibration (2)arc Genesis (3) Audyssey XT32

why is it recommended to get seperate amps for power?

if I'm mostly happy with costco onkyo at less than half the price, shouldn't this be an upgrade power wise too?

The Onkyo NR7100 is available for $999 for a very similar receiver but without preouts for adding an external amp. If you know you're not going to add an external amp throughout your ownership, you may want to save the extra $200.

Why, does it not have enough power to drive 9 channels as stated?
