I have the rz50 and it kicks ass

Community Reviews

The Onkyo TX-RZ30 is a modern 9.2-channel receiver that stands out for Dirac Live Bass Control support, two independent subwoofer outputs, newer HDMI 2.1a features, and pre-outs for external amplification. It is also seen as a strong value at $749, especially for buyers who want Dirac without moving up to a higher model. The main caveat is power, since the 170W figure is for one channel driven and real-world output is closer to about 100W with all channels driven. Dirac's included room correction also does not handle subwoofer integration on its own, so some setups may still want extra calibration hardware.

Common Questions (5)

  • For many shoppers, yes: the RZ30 is newer, has DLBC access, dual independent sub outs, and newer HDMI 2.1a features, while the Integra's 5-year warranty may not offset shipping hassles. The DRX 3.4 can still make sense if warranty coverage is the top priority or if you want to save money.

    jmehta714holysinshaddaisupermanrob

  • Yes. The RZ30 adds Dirac Live Bass Control support and has two independent subwoofer outputs, which is a key reason to choose it for room correction and dual-sub setups. The included Dirac package does not add subwoofer correction/integration by itself, so bass management still matters.

    jmehta714supermanrobshaddaisupermanrob

  • The 170W figure is for 1 channel driven at 6 ohms, not a full-system rating. Under the more typical 8-ohm, 2-channel-driven condition, it is around 100W per channel, and that is the comparison that matters for real-world use.

    tourbound6holysinshaddai

  • It is officially in the same class as most receivers here, which are rated down to 4 ohms. If your speakers routinely dip to 2 ohms, external amplification is the safer choice.

    holysinsupermanrobshaddai

  • Yes. It has pre-outs, so you can add external amplification later for the front channels or other speakers if you want more headroom. That makes it easier to upgrade power without replacing the receiver.

Alright. For $749, this is a better buy than the DRX 3.4 at $569. The extra $190 is worth the spend here. For the additional processed channels and the independent sub out with DLBC. It was tough to recommend over the Integra at $899, but for $749, it's an instant buy.

Edit: no additional processed channels. I was thinking of the RZ50. Still though, Great buy at $750

For $749, with Dirac (worth $300 alone), this is an instant buy. Glad it has two independent subwoofer channels, just picked up a RSL 10S MK II and would be nice to have the option to add a second down the road.

I think it's worth the upgrade as well, but just to be clear the RZ30 doesn't support any additional processed channels over the DRX 3.4. They both are limited to 9 channels (7.x.2 or 5.x.4 max).

If Dirac is a high priority, agree this at this price is the new to go unit. It's a very capable unit, less likely to needing external amps compared to the Integra unit in my experience.

Usually prices drop in time so usually waiting is good idea unless you needed it right now.Unfortunately with all the turmoil going on(likely the next 4 years) prices are very likely to go up. This is a good price for what you get imo.

How so? Both AVRs are 100wpc class AB units. What makes the RZ30's power stage different from the Integra's? The only difference I can see is a THX cert on the Onkyo versus an IMAX cert on the Integra.

My impression from two separate setups I'm pretty familiar with. Overall I don't feel the Integra offers as much solid power as this. You're more likely to feel you need more power with the Integra than this. That, independent sub outs, access to DLBC & much newer as well is worth the extra $180 or so over the Integra in my experience.Just my opinion from having setup and listened to both.

Perhaps a side effect of the DRX 3.4's "limp mode" on low impedance loads vs the removal of this stealth protection circuit on the newer RZ30? The RZ30 hasn't been tested by ASR so this is pure speculation.

This seems like a safety feature, no? I'd prefer my amp shut down at 90% power than risk pushing too hard and burning itself out. Maybe that's why Integra's warranty is so much better. in any case, I don't get past 75/100 on the volume knob on my DRX 3.4. Couldn't imagine needing more power than that.

"Protect mode" = machine shuts down to prevent further damage. Obvious to owner.
"ECO mode" = power output is limited and ramped up to meet dynamic requirements. Owner-selected.
"Limp mode" = power output is limited (on low impedance speakers) without the owner's knowledge. This manifests itself as less detail, distortion, or any number of other things. A typical Denon, Sony, or Yamaha that doesn't have "limp mode" would never cut off power so severely.

Yes it's just a measurement "problem" not an audible one. It's been 4 years and it's been a silly non issue.No one has ever said they heard the issue. Not to mention it's only an issue with 6&4 ohm speakers, it not an issue with 8ohm speakers.
