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.
Dirac Live is available onboard at no extra charge, which makes the $599 price point attractive for calibration-focused setups.
Setup can be straightforward, and the unit has worked as a replacement for older AVRs in at least some home theater transitions.
The receiver can deliver strong real-world results after room calibration, including clearer center dialogue and improved low-end fidelity.
ARC and eARC can produce indistinguishable sound for some setups, so the receiver may still work well even without chasing eARC-specific differences.
The TX-NR7100 can show poor behavior with 4-ohm speaker loads, including a power-limiting "limp mode" risk that may not be clearly indicated.
The unit lacks pre-outs and parallel subwoofer outputs, which can limit expansion options compared with models that offer those features.
Dirac Live may not improve sound for every system, and some users report a downgrade in sound quality after upgrading.
Coupon and deal pricing can be unreliable, since at least one report says the coupon code stopped working.

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
