The Onkyo TX RZ30 stands out as a strong value 9.2 channel receiver with Dirac room correction, THX certification, and enough power for most home theater setups. It is framed as a modern alternative to pricier Denon, Yamaha, Marantz, and Anthem models, especially at this price. The main caveat is that Dirac setup has a learning curve, and the advertised PayPal Pay in 4 cashback has been inconsistent for some purchases. A solid pick if you want current features without stepping up to the RZ70.

This is THX certified which they say basically means:
"The receiver must accurately deliver THX reference level, which is 85 dB with 20 dB of headroom, at 105 dB for each channel without distortion or clipping.".
From personal experience I would say this will drive pretty anything their RZ50 can.

Your points are on the way! They should arrive within 90 days.
Sucks that the discount didn't work for others but you have to make sure to save the "Pay in 4" promo offer first and you have to see "Pay in 4" as a payment option. For me, the "Pay in 4" showed up under the Pay Later options and it was distinctly separate from "pay in installments".
The calibration process causes a lot of confusion not to mention all the misinformation.
This is thee best process to follow in my experience.

At the 2:10 mark, it mentions to set your speaker distances and volumes. I understand distance, but how do you know what volume to set speakers at? Also, isn't this usually done by the receiver's calibration process using the included mic?
Later in the video, at 5:50 mark, it says to "play one of your speakers". What does that mean exactly? Are we supposed to play some music or have a movie on?
My RZ30 is out for deliver so I'm looking forward to setting it up with Dirac today or tomorrow. Thanks again for all the great, sound (no pun intended), advice you've shared in other posts.

In basic terms on the 2:10 mark.
In the past, you would use a sound level meter at MLP and adjust all the speakers to match based on the meter.
There are apps that you can use as a meter and you use the units test tones is the simplest way.
You only need to do that for the reasons he mentioned.
At the 5:50 mark.If you notice just past that mark he plays another speaker by clicking the triangle at the bottom of the speaker bar.
That's how you play each speaker and it has a timer.
As he pointed out your room floor & setting speakers to it is critical.
Unless your "Atmos" speakers are reference, I would suggest using your lowest sounding surround speaker for that setting.
Keep in mind DL doesn't correct your sub(s)or integration bass between them and your speakers.
Bass Control is a godsend with all that ime.
Lucky for you, you have access to it!
Ultimately what sounds best is what you think.
A main advantage to Dirac is you can make all the adjustments within it, especially if you have Bass Control!

Or should I go with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 instead (impedance of 4.5 to 8 ohm)? The Wharfedale and Triangle are same price right now. Thank you!
Edit: Nevermind, Onkyo Suppprt said the RZ30 should be fine with the Borea BR09 as long as there's sufficient ventilation and I don't play at extreme volume too long.
I wonder what happens if someone transfers the points out and then returns the purchase (which I won't be doing, but just wondering how that works).
