Well to be fair that's only IF you NEED 11 internal powered channels in a 1 box solution.
Not to mention how you're defining "performance".
If you don't need 11 channels, they're plenty of much less expensive options with very similar real world audible performance.
Plenty of people understand(ie AVS,etc)benchmark specs performance(ie SINAD,DAC,etc) is not actually an audible benefit for surround/multi channel content.
Amp/power supply performance is easily negated using the pre outs.
Often people point out that Dirac is head and shoulders better performance benefit.
If true, this(nor both sister units & Integra 8.4) offer Dirac's top RC D-ART.
Just within Onkyo brand, having personally experience setting up all their current models.
Based on real world audible performance.
Unless you NEEDED an 11 powered 1 box solution.
I would say the RZ30 as being the high overall audible performance best price point.
Especially if you added the head & shoulders benefit of Dirac Bass Control and still having approximately $700 left in your pocket!

I have this. Got it for when the $1500 was running. It's been great so far. I'm running with svs pinnacle ultra with center. Need to get some rears wired in and atmos. Been solid so far. It's a big and heavy piece though

That would cover the majority of DLBC cost especially for BF sale.
However...still a performance king at the time at this price point, all in
I have owned both its sister units and still own the Integra 8.4, they all share the same amp/power supply
Very high overall performance for the price point and frankly in a world of its own for a 1 box solution

These new Onkyo units are a good match with SVS loudspeakers ime.
