This is a great unit
Probably more suited to a more medium space
I suggest checking out the owner's forum on AVS. Many of them have owned this AVR since its introduction in 2021
There are lot of tips and tricks that can be learned from those that have actually owned the unit for years
There is a high satisfaction from what I have read
I was certainly satisfied with my unit when I owned it

Yes I realize all those Onkyo's can be found under $2k. I was responding to 2 comments which recommended picking non-Onkyo. People like to trash a deal when posted, so my question is always, what does that person like if not this?
The main reason people go with this is Dirac.
If that is of no interest, take a look at this comparison to see the feature difference. https://www.zkelectroni
I am going to speculate that PAC has sold a lot of this model. Though I have no certified sales numbers
People waited on this unit in 2021 and paid full MSRP
There are many owner's in the AVS forum threads that bought this unit at introduction
They seem to be very satisfied
I owned one for about 18 months and frankly for the price, there was nothing out there IMO, that offered the same price to performance ratio for what I paid
I actually A/B ed it against the Denon X4800, in my home...I didnt see any real upside in the Denon X4800 over the Onkyo RZ50
You can read through 4 years of posts from actual owners

I dont know what speakers( room size and volume) you are running ...but there is no AVR that I have seen here on slick deals that will come anywhere close to the performance of that Rotel
The Onkyo RZ70 is probably the closest I have seen...but even then, that Rotel is much higher performing
You probably already know that Rotel amp, in good operational and cosmetic condition, has great resale value
Its worth a lot more on the used market than the selling price of the AVR in this thread

TBH ime the majority of the time its user caused.
This has been out since 2021 & majority of owners are content with it.
In general, both implemented properly, at moderate levels.
In real world use, very unlikely you're gonna hear anywhere near a $900 difference ime.
Biggest improvement would probably be room correction.
In that case, you're better off looking at the RZ30 when it's between $700-750.There is hardly any difference between this and the RZ30 in real world use ime.
Many factor to consider.

Content offers different "surround" options.
Your AVR usually offers several different codecs that decode those content options.
Example, if you're talking about an object based "surround" setup.
You are much more restricted by the AVRs capabilities than content.
