I upgraded from a Yamaha TSR-700 - it is the Costco rebranded version of the Yamaha RX-V6A. It had YPAO (Yamaha's version for room correction).
I have a 5.1 setup and am driving (2) KEF Q950s for Front L/R, (1) Definitive Technology Mythos Three Center as Center, and (2) KEF Q350s for Surrounds. I also have the system paired with a Klipsch RP-1600SW. The center was by choice for design purposes of the living room furniture layout of the TV stand that the TV is mounted above and was able to fit in a small cubby in the TV stand. This was not the optimal end set up but more on this later, it was done for aesthetics as this was in my living room.
I did room correction with Dirac Live as this was one of the major deciders including the price point that pushed me to upgrade. Dirac Live correction was done on the Laptop - I never did the correction with the phone app, I opted for the laptop since reading everything pointed to better results with a PC. I did this in a quiet environment with all the other devices off so as to ensure fidelity of the measurements. I used a UMIK-1 microphone that is recommended by many forums including our own here at Slickdeals.
I was hesitant and concerned with all the reading about the 2021 PAC AVR "Limp Mode" issue. The KEFs all have a nominal impedance rated at 8ohms and range all the way down to 3.2ohms. It has been noted in other forums that these speakers, although not rated at 4ohms nominal, are harder to drive on some 2021 PAC AVRs and trigger the "Limp Mode". Being hopeful but also to avoid any issues, I installed (2) AC Infinity AIRPLATE S7s (each is fitted with dual 120mm fans - so 4 fans total) into my cabinet that remains closed. One AIRPLATE S7 at the bottom shelf to draw in (intake) cool air and one on the 2nd shelf where the receiver sits to draw out (exhaust). There are only 2 shelf compartments, PS5 and Xbox Series X sit in the bottom compartment with the intake fan. Each AIRPLATE unit at maximum each move 104CFM of air and are controlled by an AC Infinity Controller 2. Fan controller is set at 78F to turn on fans. Measured temps at 80-82F max in the cabinet. I have also matched speaker wire lengths to all relative speakers per position and am using 14 gauge pure copper wire to maintain lower resistance and consistent levels of impedance.
With all that in mindā¦..*drum roll please*ā¦ā¦.
The results are in. After setup and room correction. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. Dirac Live is a game changer, highs are highs but not fatiguing, bass is accurate and deliberate, the center surprisingly not being matched (brand, drivers, complementing crossovers, and timbre matching) sounded seamless. The frequency response was consistent across all volumes and consistent into and past reference level. You don't have drivers overextending themselves and distorting with an inaccurate calibration. Wow. Just wow. Do yourself a favor and get this receiver only if you plan on doing Dirac Live room correction. Also, I recommend with even a trained ear, try the room correction out with any receiver you might have, (hopefully it's Dirac or an equivalent) very few people would be able to correct and calibrate as well as the Dirac did. Too many factors for us to try to consider, room size, room shape, insulation materials, types of surfaces, different objects in the room itself, only to mention a few. The receiver had no issues with driving the KEFs at extended periods at reference levels. Details are more transparent - the KEFs are already good at this, but Dirac Live room correction made it even better. No issues with any "Limp Mode", this may be the fact of adequate cooling in the cabinet.
I am currently waiting on a KEF Q6 Meta to arrive but am nowhere in a rush to replace the center, I just wanted to get the full set for when the time comes to complete it with my wife's permission. I know there will be upsides to the matched center and driver sizes but am very amazed by the seamlessness of the staging accomplished between two very different speakers from Front L/R and center speaker after completing Dirac Live room correction. It could be a commercial. It should be a commercial.
If there are any questions on anything, feel free to ask. I can provide more details to the processes or setup.

2) Total numbers of reviews is a paltry 15. Don't know how long Adorama has been selling these but the AVR came out in 2021 (refer again to my prior "culling" question)!
3) Some of the reviews are initial impressions and admitted a deep dive hadn't happened yet. Folks don't normally come back to update their reviews (if it is even possible at all). I rather hear from owners who had a couple days under their belt in a forum!
I am confused.....
You have used one person's review as a litmus test for the product as a whole....
That is valid??
You also skipped the dozens and dozens ..perhaps hundreds.....of positive reviews
So...one review is the litmus test for the product as a whole?.....
I did use the computer app to do the setup for Dirac.
I drive infinity Alphas in the front (center + LR) and infinity universal surround speakers for rear surround and height. Additionally I have an RSL sub.
My room has not adapted well to surround in the past because it's a huge open space with hard flooring.
I am not a super audio person but this sounds great to me. CEC seems to work fine with my Apple TV and Sony A95L.

I figured with my current setup, im getting about 85-90% of the best sound from my speakers. Getting a new avr with updated room correction will get me another 5%-10% of better sound.
Imo "need" in an apartment, these are all overkill.
You would not be taking advantage of what's capable.
Thats the great thing about Denon/Marantz if you prefer them.
You get a very good RC with Audyssey AND the option for the full suite of Dirac IF you choose!
You don't have to give up your AVR preference!
With the advent of A1EVO people are quickly finding out Dirac is no longer needed, especially for the cost!
It basically gives you all the performance of Dirac for $20, it's a game changer for Audyssey!
I would suggest starting a budget fund until you get to a more permanent situation.
You will then have a good budget to build a good system that you can take full advantage of.
i've heard amazing things about A1EVO so I'll most likely stay with Denon/Marantz, unless an amazing deal pops up on another equal level AVR.
Right now the only missing piece from my current KEF set up is a new AVR and a subwoofer, but given my apartment, the subs in my KEF R11s are more than fine.
The other reason I want a new AVR is that Im planning to get a new tv to replace my 77" C9 and I was contemplating a Sony 98", but that only has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports and currently I need at least 3 for my ps5, PC, nvidia shield. So I figured i'd just buy a new AVR when a good deal popped up.
Thanks for the feedback and helping me to decide to hold off until i truly need a new avr.
The hypocrisy is clearly real though...
But hey...I wondered, several years ago on AVS forum, why most of the product specific threads requested that owner's only post in them
Someone told me to cut down on the speculation, pontification, exaggeration and conjecture
I get it
- Funny how Mr. Robinson sets up Dirac but really has nothing critical to say about it (again...he's trying to get that ad money)! His videos are very much like some of your posts: everything is good so buy, buy, buy!
In contrast, Audioholics nailed it in their RZ70 review:
" In addition to the complexity of the process and awful documentation, Dirac Live Bass Control is not working for me or other Audioholics reviewers."
https://www.audioholics
In case you're wondering why I'm answering your RZ30 barb w/an RZ70 one, it's because it's the same "off by 1" bug that plagues both DLBM and DLBC!
"FYI DLBC is not required with DLBM!"
- This is one of the first things I said to you when I had the misfortune of answering one of your posts last year. You make it sound like you discovered this! The irony is incredible!
Just like the people even in this thread that have said "The Dirac room correction is amazing"!
I believe you're the only one that keeps proclaiming...everything is bad so don't buy, buy, buy!
Lol "Dirac Live Bass Control is not working for me"...doesn't say audible wise!
Heck many people have said DLBC doesn't work for them or required/non beneficial!
What does this have to do with DLBM again?
Again "ever calibrated with DLBM/DLBC" is not saying ""FYI DLBC is not required with DLBM!"!

Threads where only owners post just becomes a circle jerk that really helps nobody and obscures the truth!

"Audio electronics" were considered Black Magic when I sold these things and they still are to a certain extent (especially compared to "video electronics" like TVs and BD players)!

I've never owned any of these 4 AVRs but I know from reviews, forums, and interior pics from a Taiwanese website that they all share 90% of components. I also know:
DRX 3.4 - only one of the 2021 clones to have a pre-out
RZ30 - adds more of the newer HDMI chipsets and independent sub-outs, only one of the 4 AVRs mentioned above to be DLBM/DLBC-capable
That's a lot of insight for not having owned any of these AVRs, yes? In what way has my knowledge been invalidated?

"If you're pairing this (or any other 2021 PAC receiver) with KEFs, then all I can say is "good luck"!", "Someone's advice to pair the DRX 3.4 w/external amps would be mandatory in my mind!", "the "newer" RZ30 suffers from the same "off by 1" DLBM/DLBC bug as the RZ50, DRX 5.4, etc!",ETC(many more)!
Are examples of YOU doing the homework, painting things as bad & making judgments for others AGAIN!

You also have to be fair: if a SD member says to me "I have true 8 ohm nominal speakers or I plan to offload to external amps, don't plan to use DLBM/DLBC and don't have multiple SWs", then I'd say the DRX 3.4 is probably going to work well for that person. All my recommendations are specific to customer input.

Yes to be fair, some "bug" issue isn't going tell anyone whether it will work well or not for them.
Especially since that "bug" issue is not an audible issue!
This is not AVS, why you keep bringing this up over and over again in here I do not understand!

.Please share a link to the Taiwanese website where you spent the time with the drawings and were able to determine the specific parts ( from the schematics) that the units share
I have to say , if you took all that time to find out that information then you are VERY committed
Meanwhile..here is a link to the RZ50/7100 owner thread with over 600 pages of posts from owners
Many of these people were on the waiting list at the very beginning in 2021 and paid full MSRP
https://www.avsforum.co
I own the Onkyo RZ50
From my personal participation in the thread for the past year, I would say that there is an extremely high level of satisfaction from the owner base for these units
