This bundle centers on strong RC-70 floor speakers paired with an Onkyo RZ70 that brings Dirac Live and plenty of channel support for a serious home theater. The speakers are described as a clear step up from RC-10s and capable of impressive sound, especially when crossed over to a sub and set to small. The RZ70 is also viewed as the safer receiver choice for demanding setups and higher listening levels. The main caveat is value, since the package looks overpriced if you do not need 11 channels, and the RC-70 upgrade matters less for moderate music or movie listening.
Common Questions (5)
Set the RC-70s to small and use a 60-80 Hz crossover for home theater. That offloads deep bass to the sub, reduces distortion and power demand, and usually improves clarity and headroom.
If you do not need 11 channels, the bundle is poor value because most of the price is tied up in the AVR. The speakers-only package at $799 is the better buy, and a TX-RZ30 has been available around $700 with most of the same features.
For movies and moderate-volume music, the RC-70s are not a dramatic audible upgrade over RC-10s when a good sub like an SVS PB12 is already in the system. The center channel carries most movie dialogue, so that upgrade is usually more audible than swapping the front towers.
They can work in direct 2.0 listening for music if you do not play very loud and the speakers reach low enough for your taste. The RC-70s still roll off in the low bass, so adding a sub and crossing over around 70-80 Hz is the cleaner long-term setup.
Yes, the TX-NR747 should easily drive these speakers for normal use. If you already have a decent subwoofer and do not need new AVR features, the older receiver is enough.

HT in Medium to large rooms: RSL 12s, Hsu VTF-2
HT in Large open plan rooms: Hsu VTF-3 or TN-1; if budget allows and if you are really a hardcore HT basshead, PSA 15" or 18" or 21" vented subs
Have 4xmags in the ceiling for Atmos but my current avr Yamaha tsr7810 only can allowe to use 5.1.2. would going to a rz30 or rz50 be worth it for dirac or not worth spending the $ for marginal gains?

If your 4 in-ceilings are already in place and properly positioned for Atmos, then yes going with the RZ30 when on sale for $700 would be worth it especially compared to just getting towers.

Everything depends on YOUR use case. IF you mostly listen to music and like it loud then ok, the towers might be worth it. If you mainly watch movies or if your music listening is done at moderate levels, the RC70s would not be much audible improvement over the RC10 with the PB12.

The front sound stage are LCRs. I could buy this package, take the rc70s and then sell my two lcrs that I'm replacing along with the LCR / rc10s from this package as a 5.1 on Facebook. Probably would cost me minimal after selling the unused speakers from this package and the ones I've replacing
Unless your in ceiling speakers are positioned close to this, just keep what you have and enjoy it.

Gaming spreads the sound much more evenly to all the speakers than movies/TV do, but again upgrding the FL/FR isn't going to make any dramatic audible difference.
