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 budget friendly way to get Dirac Live, with onboard room correction and 7.2.2 support making it especially appealing at $599. The price is often framed as the cheapest current entry into Dirac, and the sound is described as strong enough to replace older Onkyo, Denon, Integra, and Harman Kardon receivers. The main tradeoffs are its age, lack of pre outs, and parallel sub outs, which limit future expansion. There are also repeated concerns about warm running, power limiting with low impedance speakers, and occasional reliability or recovery issues.
Common Questions (5)
It is the cheapest Dirac AVR in this class, but the RZ30 and RZ50 add useful extras like pre-outs and, on the RZ30, DLBC and independent sub outs. If Dirac is the main goal, the 7100 is the budget pick; if expansion and bass correction matter more, the RZ30 is the stronger upgrade.
No pre-outs are included, and the two subwoofer outputs are parallel rather than independent. That makes it less flexible for external amplification or advanced bass management than newer models like the RZ30.
It can be a challenge with true 3-4 ohm speakers, especially at louder listening levels. It is generally considered fine for normal listening with typical 8-ohm home theater setups, but low-impedance speakers may be better matched to a higher-tier model or an external amp.
Yes. The receiver can reduce output on low-impedance loads without a clear on-screen warning, and restoring full operation may require unplugging it and plugging it back in. This is most relevant with 4-ohm or lower speakers; true 8-ohm nominal speakers are less likely to trigger it.
Yes. Dirac Live is onboard with no extra charge, which is the main reason this model is still attractive at $599. It is also described as the least expensive way to get Dirac Live right now.

SD is allergic to the Audio Science Review site (ASR) so you can find Amir's review if you Google:
"The TX-NR7100 delivers "OK" performance across my tests. The problem as I have noted in previous reviews of this shared platform between Onkyo/Pioneer is this severe power limiting mode. I have to think it is there to pass UL regulatory tests and hence the reason it doesn't even tell you that it has gone into this "limp" mode. Naturally there is no mention of it and even searching online won't clue you in this problem."

That ASR "measurement" falls under the same importance as the SINAD one!
The people that care are over on ASR/AVS, or should be!

I have a subwoofer; that immediately takes most of the stress out of the system; at that point, a paperweight could drive the wattage required of the remaining speakers.
Most HT folks probably have a sub too, with most traffic under some cutoff (60? 80?) going straight to the sub(s).
My question is, short of someone absolutely POUNDING the living hell out of the speakers at max volume with no sub, who will run across this?
I'm aware of it, so should I run across it (expectation: never) I'll be sure to unplug then replug power.
Amir should also redo his review for the 7100 at the $499 price point. I'd like to see what he thinks is better.

Anyway
The people on AVS are NOT allergic to Amir's testing and called out the Denon X3800 for those very poor Sinad results as well...but you know that
Selective foolishness at full display....LOL
I just looked at Amir's testing and noticed the Onkyo Rz50 scored a 97 in Sinad.
Better than the Denon X4800 at 95 and much better than the X3800 at 87
Personally..I thought the Onkyo RZ50 was a heck of a deal for the $580 I paid for it from a performance/price standpoint

They actually own the product they are talking about and seem to be VERY satisfied
Many have owned this unit since it was first released back in 2021
You might want to take a look at the hundreds of pages of actual owners posting about this unit and RZ50 on AVS forum for a MUCH better viewpoint , IMO

I used to own a Onkyo Rz50 that I bought open box at Best Buy for $580
I owned it for 18 months and made a profit when I sold it
