If you ordering a expensive item from Adorama, do check there return policy. They are really bad when it comes to returns, you may end up paying for shipping it back and also a %15 restocking fee if the item is opened.
SD seems to like them. Almost all deals from them are from staff.
Also check there cash back on other sites. You may get $60 as cash back.

Probably the best AVR deal at this price point. Dirac standard and upgradeable. Independent testing shows it performs better than it's specs.

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.

  • The TX-RZ70 includes Dirac standard and supports upgrade paths for Dirac features.

  • Real-world SINAD-style testing claims the TX-RZ70 outperforms its published amp and power supply numbers.

    turnneshaddai

  • The TX-RZ70 has been described as a long-term "beast" with plenty of power and channels after extended ownership.

    sbattosaidavid8613

  • The TX-RZ70 can feel like a major step up when upgrading from older Onkyo models for newer streaming apps and improved power supply.

    m3incorp

  • The promo code reportedly stops working, which can block the advertised deal price.

    2kdealhunterCyanMagic351

  • The TX-RZ70's value can be questioned because RZ30 may deliver similar Dirac standard and upgradable features for much less money.

    supermanrobsupermanrob

  • Adorama returns may cost shipping back and a 15% restocking fee if the item is opened.

    itsme13

  • Warranty coverage may be unclear because Adorama's page indicates a 2-year warranty while Onkyo states 3-year coverage through authorized dealers.

Hopefully these sales mean that the RZ31/51/61/71 are around the corner.

My AVRs got taken out by a lightning strike. I want to hold out for an RZ61/71.
This past January had Onkyo showing mockups of the future lineup at CES. I don't recommend waiting for the following reasons:

1) Onkyo has to revamp the IC so that it can finally handle Dirac ART. While the DSP was specifically called out in the current gen for why ART won't work, the limp mode would also give fits for owners w/challenging speakers (especially if they don't assign the speaker support levels properly and work the amp too hard).
2) Onkyo was noticeably absent from CEDIA this month. No working AVRs means not close to production!
3) Onkyo mentioned 2027 for the new lineup. Does that mean Jan 2027 or Dec 2027? My guess is closer to the end of 2027 based on reasons #1 and #2.

You'll be waiting a long time for the RZ61/71.

Insurance is replacing my AVR, so I want to get a new model... even if the difference is mainly the looks.
The newest is the RZ30 & it's a very capable unit.

People make a big deal of this "limp mode" measurement issue.
It supposedly affects the other PAC units also.
You can go read all the user threads of those units on like AVS.
You'll be hard pressed to find someone that actually heard the issue.

They also make a big deal about ART.
Owning & having experience with it on other setups.
There are many other things you should have before considering it.

Not to mention it's an extension to Bass Control.
Bass Control does the majority of the work.
Imo Bass Control is all the majority of people need.

Nothing even close to these performance specs for this price

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'm glad you keep mentioning the SINAD. Gene had this to say in his Audioholic's review of the RZ70: "Distortion is low for the amp section of the TX-RZ70 measuring 85dB SINAD (.005% THD+N) up to at 50 watts/ch. That's excellent!" So if 85dB SINAD is excellent, then the Denon 3800 must be phenomenal at 95dB SINAD in a similar power sweep by Amir. The cherry on top is that the 95dB SINAD is achieved at 114 watts/ch for the 3800.

Please continue to bring up SINAD all the time. It'll work out. LOL!

Oh..and from someone who stated they would not be posting in PAC threads anymore?..Wink

More credibility I guess?

For some reason you didnt mention Amirs specific comments about the Denon x3800
There was more than poor SINAD issues, with that unit from his testing.
Amir also posted the response he received from Denon when he reached out to them about the X3800's poor performance
Their response didnt meet his expectations. He stated that in his review

You should know that if you read the review.. ?...

I see the anecdotal information and attempts to cherry pick are still on your playbook.

AND in threads that you stated you would no longer post in....LOL
More credibility, I guess?

And just to confirm , I will continue to bring it up...Big Grin

It's been more than a year since I told you that supermanrob brought me out of PAC thread posting retirement. The SD community should be so grateful that you keep bringing it up! I've also stated many times (for which you conveniently ignore), Amir's "do not recommend" on the 3800 was in regards to the slight regression in SINAD compared to the prior gen 3700. The SINAD is still good and if anyone would know about cherry picking, it would be you (pot calling the kettle black). I understand your livelihood may be dependent on the propaganda you spew but luckily it doesn't for me!

If it wasn't for supermanrob's penchant for giving terrible advice (especially when it comes to all things Dirac) and your completely biased views on PAC products, I'm not sure there would be material for me to work with!

Ahh..yes

A full display of speculation, conjecture and backpedaling

I have come to expect no less from you

As for my "biased "opinion....its based on what I actually owned and have experience with

But you know this since you have said you have researched my AVS membership history
That is stalkish...but anyway..shake head

And yes, I know personal ownership experience doesnt matter to you

No need to let facts get in the way of a good story ..right? Wink

LOL, my advice, you mean Dirac's and Audio Advice's!

This from the guy that keeps telling people it's a bad choice if you don't get a unit that doesn't support ART(or not(2900?)).
Yet he doesn't even find Bass Control a benefit!!!

Tell us you're clueless how Dirac works, without telling us you're clueless how it works!

Speaking of cherry picking/that black kettle.
You constantly pointing to that limp mode "measurement", advising that you're gonna be sorry!!!
There are 5 years+ of PAC owners over on your beloved AVS that disagree with that advice!

When you graduate from the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good, feel free to petition to have it enlarged 3x bigger!
I think your superpower is confusion!

The limp mode has been an issue a couple times but not enough to raise a stink here on SD (unlike enthusiast audio threads). I'm only mentioning it because there truly is no "free lunch" w/the uber-cheap PAC AVRs! Although the RZ70 is not susceptible to the limp mode, it's existence as a flagship Onkyo AVR w/o the benefit of ART (and not cheap to boot) should give one pause when spending $1500-$2000 these days!

LOL "a couple times", then why do you keep making a "stink" about it constantly in SD!

So show us what either of these TWO people said how/when they "heard" this issue?
Unless you're one of them, if so which PAC unit did you hear it on & scenario?

Based on you constantly pressing turnne about SINAD, you understand we are talking about an audible issue(or benefit) not a "measurement" one!

Why should people pay for ART if they don't use it.
As you mentioned there is no free lunch.
You pay for that access in the price of the unit.
You're a prime example.
How long have you had the 3800 without not only ART but Bass Control!?
