About 10 years ago, they had an issue with WIDESPREAD faulty (short lifespan) capacitors.

The manner in which they handled that problem turned me forever against Onkyo (and FYI, I gave them MANY chances at retaining me as a loyal customer).

They couldn't be bothered to do the right thing. So... they are 'permanently banned' in my house & amongst my small circle of close friends.

BTW, I hope OP doesn't take my comment as me crapping on this thread... I'm just stating my own personal experience/facts & also my associated opinions surrounding those facts.

I don't wish any grief upon Onkyo or their employees. I truly hope that Onkyo has since changed their company culture on how they treat their loyal customers, especially when their is a KNOWN systemic problem affecting MANY of their (often premium-priced) products.

And one last thing... notice I just described their products as 'premium priced'.

This 'prepaid premium' is what ultimately made my decision to basically 'forever ban them' a lot easier.

You often pay a premium for a product not only because of the real (or perceived) quality... but also for the steps the company takes to 'make things better', regardless of the cost (w/in reason, obviously).

Sorry for the long post. And... good luck with your Onkyo product! : )

Really thinking about this as a backup if my TX RZ900 ever fails.

So I have a Denon AVR-X3400H running my 5.2 system. No atmos, just standard surrounds with dual subs. Would this make any sense at all compared to what I'm already running?

Unlikely. This isn't going to provide better sound quality or offer any sort of game changer that the Denon doesn't already provide.

So Audio Science Review does NOT recommend the Onkyo TX-RZ50 since the amplifier section is marginal at best. See https://www.audiosciencereview.com /forum/index.php?threads/onkyo-tx-rz50-review-home-theater-avr.30842/ for their review. Don't forget to take out the spaces.

OK... So the amp section is lacking... What do you think about using the TX-RZ50 as a surround sound preamp/processor? Just add a good multichannel power amp (you chose the number of channels) to the pre-outs...

For those that might have missed it.

Here is a video from a renowned AV Professional(AA) who worked directly with Dirac that gives you best/key tips & tricks to optimally use Dirac Live.

It's extremely helpful walking you through how to use Dirac Live optimally/properly & explains common mistakes/confusion issues that often come up!

These applies to any Dirac Live capable receiver.

This is Rz line. Have an older unit over 6 years old.

Longer warranty and heavier amps etc. 3 year Warranty on RZ line.

This is a great deal on what's supposed to be a great receiver.

Do I upgrade? Damn this inflation makes spending difficult.
