Community Reviews
The Onkyo TX RZ70 stands out as a flagship 11.2 channel AVR with strong real world performance, Dirac Live standard, and upgradeable room correction. It is praised for plenty of power, solid build quality, modern HDMI 2.1 compatibility, and testing that appears to beat its published specs. The main hesitation is value, since the RZ30 and RZ50 are often seen as close enough for far less money, especially if you already use external amps or do not need future Dirac ART support. Its 19 inch depth and Adorama return terms also deserve a look before ordering.
Listeners driving demanding speakers in larger rooms, because the built-in amplification is described as a significant power upgrade with plenty of channels.
Owners replacing an older receiver for newer streaming and HDMI features, because the newer platform adds current apps and modern connectivity.
Home theater upgraders using PS5 or other modern sources, because it passes 4K at 120Hz and VRR that older receivers cannot handle.
Room-correction tinkerers who want calibration inside one app, because Dirac Bass Control reduces the need for REW and MSO.
Budget-focused theater builders who already get good results from a lower model, because the RZ30 is described as delivering nearly the same performance for far less.
Calibration hobbyists who already use REW and know their setup well, because there is little reason to switch just for room correction.
People planning to add external amplification, because the RZ70 is said to offer no advantage over an RZ50 on external amps.
Owners with shallow cabinets, because the receiver is 19 inches deep and can stick out the back.

Most would get pretty much the same performance from the RZ30 at more than half the cost!
It has the exact same Dirac standard & upgradable as this.
That's exactly what you would be paying for with this.
You're better off buying the RZ30 especially at half the price($700).
It will give you everything this does in your scenario ime
You probably don't need RC.
Premium RC like Dirac just does most of the work.
You then just make any further adjustments to your preferences, if needed.
The nice thing, you do it all within the program, no more REW/MSO!
Personally ime, the main reason to switch to Dirac is their Bass Control RC.
What Dirac says it does, is pretty spot on & worth every penny ime.

It's been $800 more often which is still better than $1500.
It actually outperforms its published amp/power supply numbers in real world testing
SINAD testing is also top notch as well
Based on the Audioholics results, I am certain this would pass Amir's testing

I just ordered a 98" qm8l TV...benefits for it I'm unaware of? Thx
There may be some cheaper options if you dont have a desire to upgrade speakers
For your situation the RZ30 or RZ50 might be just fine
I personally owned the RZ50 for about 18 months and it worked fine in my smaller room with book shelf speakers
Dirac , which these units come standard with, is head and shoulders above to my ears, what the other Asian manufacturers come with as standard
