Another slick deals front pager
Even after almost 6 years on the market..I still say its worth the $599 if its at least as sonically capable as the Onkyo RZ50 I used to own
Its somewhat amazing Onkyo is getting all this time out of these same models. I have never seen this phenomenon before
At this point they certainly have long captured their development costs and can sell them aggressively priced. Probably a good thing for a section of the market like slick deals
Actual owners seem to be very happy with these models
I suggest reading through the AVS owners' thread for information from them

If you're after Dirac Live, this is least expensive option right now.
Community Reviews
The TX NR7100 stands out as a low priced way to get Dirac Live and 7.2.2 support, with several comments calling it the cheapest Dirac AVR at this price and a strong value versus newer Onkyo and Denon options. Setup is described as easy, and the receiver is said to sound excellent with normal listening levels, especially when paired with a subwoofer and room correction. The main cautions are its age, lack of pre outs and independent sub outs, and reports of power limiting or limp mode with low impedance speakers. A few long term reliability complaints and one overheating concern also surface, so it looks best for standard home theater use with typical 8 ohm speakers.
Home theater builders wanting Dirac Live on a tight receiver budget, because this is repeatedly described as the cheapest entry point at this price.
Movie listeners using normal 8-ohm speakers at moderate volumes, because the unit is reported to sound strong and run fine in typical home setups.
Owners who want room correction for bass and crossover cleanup, because Dirac and similar calibration tools are described as the main audible value here.
Upgraders replacing an older 5.1 or 5.2.2 receiver, because it adds modern HDMI features and Dirac without forcing a jump to a much pricier model.
People who need full pre-outs or easy external-amp expansion, because this model has no pre-outs and workarounds add cost and complexity.
Buyers expecting a future-proof platform, because the design is over five years old and lacks newer Dirac bass features and parallel sub outputs.
Users who want a receiver that can be set and forgotten for years, because there are reports of dead units, warranty repairs, and failures after the warranty period.
Listeners with true 3-4 ohm speakers at loud volumes, because the amplifier can struggle and enter power-limiting behavior with low-impedance loads.

Having compared "Dirac" vs "Audyssey".
Short answer,in your case yes imo.
The "Dirac" on this is only for loudspeakers.
It doesn't offer their subwoofer/bass version(DLBC), let alone "ART!
It also only has parallel sub outs.
You have Audyssey's XT32,SUB EQ HT and independent sub outs.
A significant advantage ime.
Keep in mind there are several iterations of A1EVO, the simplest is Express.
"Dirac" has 3 and it too has a learning curve.
How well they are implemented is vital, not everyone does.
Take a look at Express & give it a shot.
It cost you nothing.

They both have different "versions", so saying " Dirac" or "Audyssey" is misleading/misinforming.
They are both very good, that's why they are always compared to one another!
Which is "better" is a personal choice, it is not up to me to make that determination!
What is "wishy washy" about this common sense opinion?
What is your current center?
I wouldn't expect any significant drop to this price though.
They may be just be doing early BF sales to relieve all sales at one time imo.
Chasing the holy grail of DIRAC LIVE.
There are a few other benefits, but selling the old S760 to cover about half the upgrade cost made it worthwhile.
Do I night it's night and day better? Of course not. Not even close. After A1 Evo AcoustiX I probably would fail a blind test on which was better, TBH.
But I enjoy this stuff, and it was fun.
I finished setting up the new Onkyo and the I've been extremely happy with the migration. I have clarity back in my center channel and low end fidelity--It means I can hear movie dialogue well and now there's depth and nuance in "pew pew crash boom bang" type sounds.
Maybe others will benefit from my experience, so these are the main things I learned in this purchase cycle:
* The Denon S760 has a 2 kHz volume dip (by design to compensate for cheap, harsh speakers) that is particularly pronounced with Klipsch horns. This is what was causing my center sound like it was drowned out by everything else.* The woofers in my larger speakers were experiencing power starvation symptoms worsened by the Audyssey "Large Speaker" setting, making my low end sound muddy.
* Apparently it struggled calculating the phase alignment and timing differences between the speaker woofers and the sub which created an acoustic hole at the 80 Hz crossover. This made my sub sound detached and jarring.
Speaker setup:
Fronts: 2x Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-8000F
Center: Klipsch RP-504C
Subwoofer: SVS PB-1000 Pro
