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

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.
if you are using Audio Science review as litmus test, I think you will find issues with about any AVR under $1500 ish street price or so that make it fail their testing
I dont know your set up or the way in which you listen
But having owned the Pioneer LX805 and now the Integra 8.4, my impression is that they will do some serious heavy lifting as far as AVR's go
They both share the same amp/power supply with the Onkyo RZ70
Personally, I dont like room correction engaged and sound matrixed to multiple channels for 2 channel audio
But some people will run room correction and have 2 channel music matrixed to 9 or 11 etc channels
Not my cup and it has become important to me when I am considering a piece, especially for my main listening environment
Why don't you use Dirac? It's far better than the onboard AccuEQ!

We just have to be patient for the reviews to come out.
You still have the "$1500" speakers, "$500+ subwoofer", then all the time and effort to make it work properly!
All for just a "5%" difference!!!
People fall for all these marketing "pitches" & just get "fleeced"...!!!
Feel so sorry for them!

Just another example of how measurements don't equate to good/bad sound imo.
There is a return window for a reason.
