I don't want to keep posting about my experience I'm going through with Adorama, but I just had to return an rz30 because it was Not new antenna falling off and hdmi control issues sending into frenzy. I returned it as defective within the 5 day window. Never got any update on return for a week after I checked ups and they received it. I sent an email documenting problems and called and rest assured no return shipping should be deducted or 15% restocking fee. I finally received refund email and they deducted 15% over a hundred dollars stating item was in used condition. No crap they sent me a used item. I looked for bbb. Adorama store front in nyc is accredited bbb but parent company with whom we deal with online is not affiliated and has a rating of F because of unreasoned complaints. I called on this fee and they said they would send it to return processing litigation and i should receive the difference in 2-7 days but there is documentation of that phone call received. They also ship in manufacturing packaging and if you don't click the box for insurance if someone takes your item and you receive and empty box then it's on you. Even if you do have the insurance you have to deal with it all. I've lived and learned that Adorama sells so much refurb, good luck knowing what you're getting and they can delay like they did with me. Initially telling me to contact the manufacturer for the problem with my unit, if I did I would have fell outside the 5 day defective policy. Just be careful, many good experiences and many bad and they can delay and hide behind emails and call wait times once they know what your calling about. I actually got hung up on after 20 minute hold once I was directed to tier 2 support for my wrong refund. Just becareful great price but must question at what cost. Cost me over $100 and only next step is through my credit card company if it isn't made right.

This is the reason why I went to a Best Buy store and had them price match my RZ30 to adorama's price. I read on a post previously that someone had gone to a Best Buy store and did a price match. I tried through a chat online and also a online phone call and both had said that they can't price match to adorama since they are not on their list of places for price matching, but both had said that if you go to the store they are more flexible in price matching. I went 10 days ago to the store and they priced matched adorama's price with no problem at all. Also you know that it is a brand new product from them and if there are issues during the warranty period you can bring it back to Best Buy and they will take care of sending it to Onkyo. I bought mine when adorama had it for $749, so I'm going to see if Best Buy will give an adjustment to the new lower price. I wasn't able to go last weekend when they had the sale for $700. I'm still within the 15 days, but I'm probably pushing my luck for it to happen.

It's super dicey. After my last experience (2 months in, still waiting for replacement), I swore never to buy from adorama again, even if it's a very tempting deal.

Community Reviews

The TX RZ50 stands out as a strong value AVR for smaller to medium rooms, with Dirac Live onboard, guided setup menus, and enough power to drive demanding speakers cleanly. It is praised for clear, cohesive sound, easy calibration, and solid performance at concert levels, with some owners calling it hard to beat near this price. The main tradeoffs are that the extra two channels matter only if you need them, and reliability and retailer handling have raised concerns in a few firsthand reports. A good fit when you want Dirac and 9.2 channel flexibility without stepping up to RZ70 pricing.

  • Adorama returns can involve delays and deductions such as a 15% restocking fee for items treated as used.

  • Open-box shipments can arrive with physical damage such as broken antennas, dents, and missing protective packing.

    g007bond

  • HDMI behavior can be inconsistent, including trouble with 4K120 versus 4K30 on specific setups.

    DealsNThrills

  • Reliability can be a concern, since an RZ50 can shut down after warranty with a 2L2R warning.

I've got an older rz720 with their tuning software of the time that I think sucks. Its accuEQ is poor. This Dirac works out of the box, eh?
Yes it does, keep in mind it has a learning curve, not to mention all the misinformation.

Having plenty experience with Dirac including owning it up to the latest RC(ART).
Here is thee best calibration process to follow ime.
He covers pretty much the best process, tips & tricks and misinformation.

Yes it does work and is standard/ no charge right out of the box

This unit is less of a Dirac learning set up curve than brands like Arcam
Its more " Asian branded style..meaning there are menus that step you though some things.
With Arcam you get none of that along with a few other Arcam set up " uniqueness"

Considering the actual transaction prices I paid,
I also owned the Denon X4800 and Marantz Cinema 40 at the same time and demoed them back to back in my own home with my own media

I have to say considering the transaction price to performance ratio, I preferred the Onkyo to the Denon and Marantz
I highly prefer Dirac to Audyssey and with the Onkyo its standard equipment.

If you dont have a large room and own pretty efficient speakers this is a heck of a performance deal right out of the box

Really ,the only reason I changed things out was I found what I thought was a firesale deal on some Kef Meta speakers and I ended up changing out everything in an area

So you haven't read ASR's benchmarking of the RZ50?
A better litmus test would be the actual owners on AVS forum...Many of whom have owned this unit since it was introduced in 2021
https://www.avsforum.com/threads/...e.3227263/
There are literally hundreds of owners and its amazing that the complaints seem to be almost non existent about lower impedance speakers

But...if you are going to use ASR benchmarking them you have to bring up Sinad numbers as well...the RZ50 does better than many others at higher prices in that regard

Has anyone's RZ50 failed yet?

https://www.avsforum.com/threads/...e.3227263/

There are literally hundreds of them

In my opinion, a better source of information than some that like to speculate about products they have never owned long term

With the new models coming out at the end of this year/beginning of next.
Very likely we will start seeing more sales on these older models.

Yay, this deal is on again! Nobody sells this receiver for under $1400 and for a price of $849, nothing comes close to competing with it. Get yours while this deal lasts, previously the deal was for $899, these past 2 offerings listed it at $849

I would add if you don't need more than 9 channels I would suggest the RZ30 for $700.

It's newer, independent sub outs, unlikely you would hear a difference and saves you $150!
