You can certainly use the baseline Dirac RC and ignore the bass management side until the bug is fixed but that's a personal decision! Bug hasn't been fixed in over 3 months!
The main benefit would be the better room correction.
Whether that fixes your issue is a big question mark.
Those speakers tend to like more power than their specs suggest imo.
He found no bug issue and was overall impressed!

At least Audioholics commented on symptoms of the bug in their RZ70 review. You watch Andrew Robinson reviews to feel good about your purchase...

Yes why would anyone!? 🤔
That's one of the main benefits of higher end room correction like Dirac!
Especially with sub correction/integration like DLBC!

If the 90watts on the 6050 isn't cutting it, unlikely another 10 would do much(if that's the issue).
If you're after Dirac, have you considered the Integra DRX3.4 for $579?
If it is the power, it has preouts & much less expensive!

The only advantages I see to the RZ30 are independent control for each sub out, which is admittedly nice, and a newer HDMI switch board, but I never had any problems with the old board, with an Apple TV, Gaming PC, PS5, Switch, and Blu-ray player all hooked up. So not sure if that's worth paying extra for?

The RZ50s only real advantage is if you need 11 channels.
Generally the power isn't gonna be a big difference in my experience.
Only needing 9 channels you have the 7100 or Integra 3.4 depending if you need external amps.
The 3.4 is less expensive either way though.
The RZ30 comes into play if you plan on getting Dirac Bass Control & don't want something that's 4 years old with known issues.
Very likely Onkyo learned from those issues and corrected them, no reason to think not.

Yeah power makes no difference… lol. Might as well go with a 50W banger.
Yes that's only for the people that feel the need to continue to use REW and compare, it's not really an audible issue. 🤷🏻 ♂️

lol well I can give you one example from personal experience.
Comparing the RZ50 vs the 7100 using Klipsch RP speakers.
If there was a 20 watt advantage it was very little if at all audibly.
What is your reference?
