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

Check to see if you can still do the PayPal Pay-in-4 20% off. I used that on the RZ30 and made the price effectively $599 with cashback.
There isn't anything specifically I'd want from the RZ50, other than maybe native Alexa integration and the beefier amp. But then the newer RZ30 has two independent sub outs. For those worried about HDMI issues, that was many years/generations ago. Nowadays, Denon/Onkyo probably have the best HDMI implementation. The RZ30/RZ50 are both great receivers with awesome deals this holiday season.
This review NAILS it. Power limiting is still an issue. I heard the difference during ANY scenes in movies that remotely pushed my speakers. It comes off kind of "muddy". Keep this in mind if you have decent speakers you want to drive, I have SVS Prime Towers and a 5.2.4 speaker setup
Keep in mind, when they say 120 watts @ 8 Ohms that's STEREO driven, it gets way worse in a setup like mine.

I still bought it knowing all of this because I paired this with an Emotiva 3 channel amp for the front channels. It was cheaper to do it this way than the RZ70 (which also has power limit issues) and had pre-out for the amp.
SUPER happy with this setup, it sounds amazing, and is consistent now.

My house was wired with 5 in ceiling recessed speakers in my listening room. 3 across the front and two in the rear. I also have 3 front larger speakers on the ground a LRC setup. What are my speaker configuration options as far as setting this thing up. Can I use all the speakers with any of these AVR receivers with the standard setup options? I do not have a sub but my Dynaudios give pretty good bass alone.
Thanks for any suggestions.
In general, the in ceiling speakers can be used as surrounds(rear) and or height(front).You could also use the rear ones as overhead or height if you bought another pair of speakers for surrounds.
Would not be ideal though.
You could look at this for options based on your setup.
