Omg I just got this from electronics expo for $719 open box... (last slick deal on this model) ... the unit I received looked brand new in perfect packaging. ....

Regardless - two days later - it goes on for $700

All ... for the money I don't see any AVR even close to this. The denon 3800h: the lowest price online I found is around $1250.. and i believe you have to pay for the Dirac live license - while this unit has it built in for $550 cheaper. Two independent subs is impossible to find at this price range too.

I have an old gen-2 emotiva XPA-5 tank of an amplifier so the pre-outs are must.

My ancient onkyo 818 has 140W per channel but I only use 5.1 and almost never listen at reference volume. This one only does 100W per channel. Would I notice any difference? I'm using 8ohm ascend acoustics with an svs subThanks
I can tell you I've set this up using Primes performed very well. Well known AR reviewer used the Ultras. gave a great review. Should have no problem with your AAs.

Adorama is an honest dealer. I bought from them for more than 20 years. If the item is not new, they will sell it as an open box, but with full orginal warranty. There is no "you may get" period. Don't tell people what you don't know for sure.
I would agree Adorama has been providing good service, products & deals for years!

Is this a good deal?
It depends but if you have no brand preference and don't need more than 9 channels.This offers a good amount of value for this price.

OK. Are you saying these are all open box? My original question was why other retailers don't put this on sale at a similar price.
Amazon has had this for $750. EE has regularly $799, as low as $750.Their open box as low as $719, people reported receiving new units.This is labeled "buy new:" why do you think it's open box?

Does anyone know why Adorama has put this on sale several times but other retailers have not? Unless I just missed it, it seems odd.
You may get a new product...you may get a return. Make sure you're comfortable with the return policy before buying!
Are we speaking from real experience here?
What return policy? Anyone send me a return/used or whatever, it goes back, this was not the deal I signed up for. My credit card company will be happy to dispute this. For the retailer it will be cheaper to accept it.
That's the general approach I follow, and I get "brave" often. The only time I had to dispute with any of my credit cards was about 15 years ago when merchant would not accept a return. Worked like a charm. Another time I had to argue my ass of with paypal for Aliexpress return to a non-existing address in Germany. They pretended to "eat" the cost. (I find this statement strange as they are the same company)
On the topic, I have bought from Adorama maybe 10 times over last 15 years. From color laser printers (twice) to receivers. Everything was brand new, but again, see above.

Well to be fair, that's not a fair comparison.The 3800 offers a lot more over this, that does come at a price.Many are finding out you don't need Dirac with the 3800 with the advent of A1EVO.It pretty gives you all the performance of DL & DLBC at no cost(at most $20).You would need to add DLBC for $300 to this and still short.If Dirac is important the 3800 will have access to Dirac's latest RC(ART) here very soon. That's the same RC offered on the ultra high end Storm Audio units now!

Good deal. Bought it on the 1th and haven't even unboxed it yet. Hopefully they will match it.

For beginners, how does this compare to "Denon AVR-X2800H 7.2-Channel 8K Network AV Receiver" which was on sale for $500 a few weeks ago? I have a built-in sound system in our new house that needs a receiver. Appreciate the advice.

if you have 2 or more subs, get this. There are some people complaining about the HDMI switching glitch on the X2800h. This is newer tech, they pretty much worked that issued out. This also has Dirac RC (worth $300), yeah for $200 difference, if you care about sound quality i'd go with this unit.

I'm stuck going back and forth between the Denon x1700h for $400 (refurb) and this RZ30. The x1700h will do what I need, but I'm wondering if the $300 extra is worth stepping up so many levels.

If you're a beginner and have built in speakers.I would suggest finding a used receiver that offers features you need. A big selling point to this is Dirac room correction. The included one(Dirac Live) doesn't include their subwoofer/bass one(DLBC). So if you use a subwoofer you should calibrate it/them prior to running Dirac Live. It has a bit of a learning curve, not to mention all the confusion & misinformation.Here is probably thee best calibration process to follow for Dirac. If it's too complicated, Dirac may not be a big benefit. Proper implementation is critical for optimal performance. The independent sub outs aren't that beneficial without DLBC, which runs another $300.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gjWZUZ1MeDg

If you're going to actually use the "step ups", makes sense.If it's a just in case kinda thing, it kinda a waste of $300 imo.

Just going by what some fellow SDers have recently been saying when they have a bad experience with this vendor. Don't shoot the messenger!
