The TX RZ50 stands out as a feature rich 9.2 channel AVR with Dirac Live included and enough power for a solid out of the box home theater setup. It is often framed as a strong value versus Denon and Marantz, especially if you do not need 11 channels or plan to add expensive room correction upgrades later. The main cautions are its older five year platform, reported low impedance and support concerns, and the fact that ART would still require extra hardware and about $600 in add ons. It remains a capable pick if you want Dirac now and do not need the newest upgrade path.

Unfortunately this is the new low.

If this is the unit you've been waiting for, this is probably the time to get it.

Maybe everyone that wanted one got one.

It could also be that the new replacement is coming out by the end of this year.

I believe people stacked similar sale with the PP 20% off discount code during the 2025 BF. So they got better deal by stacking it. Also just checked on Slickdeals and this model went for sale last year on April for $750 on eBay.

I thought that they announced it this year with it not coming out until early 2027?

The new models look promising (but we don't know pricing yet) and I wanted to upgrade but didnt want to wait a year..

Yea latest speculation is end of this year now but that can easily change again.

I get the big thing is ART, TBH you should have the equipment 1st to make it worthwhile ime.
Especially since MSRP will likely not be cheap then you have to purchase Bass Control AND ART which is another $600!

This looks to be the swan song for a 5 year old AVR

I owned this AVR, at one time, for about 18 months
I paid less than this and sold it for what I paid for it...Wink

But at this price, for what it can do out of the box it is a still a solid deal at this price
In the context of what I see of product range( and popularity) on slick deals , IMO this unit should check all the boxes

How would you rate this Onkyo vs Denon (x3800h) vs Marantz (Cinema 50) vs Pioneer (VSX-LX505)?
Believe the Pioneer is cheapest of the lot.

Sonic wise pretty minimal difference between them.
Comes down to feature priorities.

Denon & Marantz has the most but the most expensive(no surprise), especially Marantz.

The Pioneer has the least but least expensive.

If you don't need 11 channels, I would add the RZ30 into the mix.Especially at the sale price of $750!

Here is a comparison.

This looks like a query for ChatGPT....
By the time an audiophile who knows all 4 models answers your question here, you're better off asking for a breakdown there and getting your answer more quickly! 🤷🏻

In order from preferred to not preferred:
1) 3800 - most features and cheapest way to get Dirac ART
2) RZ50 - included base DL license but no possibility of ART, not the best AVR for low impedance speakers
3) Cinema 50 - an overpriced version of the 3800
4) LX505 - PAC has lost the Pioneer license. Purchase at own risk and be prepared for difficulty getting support 3-5 years from now.

I've seen people get very bad and incorrect answers. Good luck!
