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.

I did the same exact upgrade, but in my case, it made a huge difference. I bought the S760 as a cheap, emergency stopgap a few years ago when I completely changed my home setup (got larger speakers but ended up with a lower end AVR) and I had been pretty frustrated with the setup. I'm not an audiophile but I should've put more effort into research so no one is at fault but myself.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-8000FCenter: Klipsch RP-504CSubwoofer: SVS PB-1000 Pro
Unlikely it's the supposedly "dip".

The S760 has the basic Audyssey(MultEQ).
Rarely should you leave the setting on "large".
If you had the Audyssey Editor App, deselect mid comps would likely help also.
Had you used A1EVO, very likely you would have been extremely happy also ime.

The dip you're describing used to be called the "BBC dip" to compensate for older type speakers. The official term from Denon is actually "midrange compensation" or MRC for short. You can get rid of this dip using Dirac or any paid version of Audyssey (including the $20 app which I have called the "Denon tax"). Many folks newer to Denon are unaware of this limitation (apparently including supermanrob). I always recommend anyone who's not paying for Dirac or advanced forms of Audyssey to at least get the $20 app to get rid of MRC. Not sure when Denon will ever get rid of MRC by default but I think it's about time...

Oh geez, once again, another example of why having knowledge is vital!

Hmmm I believe I mentioned the Editor "App" & how it would help!
Hmmm so there are different "versions" of Audyssey & Dirac!
Hmm let's see $600 or $20 to get rid of this "dip"!
Even less expensive, how about A1EVO, it's free!!!

Oh FYI for everyone else, this dip is basically an Audyssey thing & IF it's a limitation, in the big picture not that relevant ime.

Speaking of advanced forms of Audyssey.
Have you looked at VYRE Audio over on AVS, very interesting!!!

JBL bookshelf 530/520C + PB1000 Pro on the 7100, SVS Ultra Evo Bookshelf LCR and PB1000 Pro on the 760.
Much more elegant than my setup for sure.

I definitely realize that I resolved my situation by throwing money at the problem (albeit a modest amount), but the net result is that I got the sound profile change I wanted. Just sharing the experience to benefit others.

I think my S760 will either be sold for peanuts to a local student in need or be relegated to office bookshelf duty if I'm willing to tinker with the settings like some have suggested (I'm just so tired πŸ˜†).

If in no hurry, may be a good idea.
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.
Thanks, just ordered one.

Ok. I've seen this a few weeks ago? And I didn't even consider... Last week my old sh*t optimus receiver finally quit. And I realized when I got my LG C5 last year I never used eArc. So...I was looking at denon and this one popped up again. Checked email, caplone has 50 reward, added to cart, first time it showed 20+ for shipping. I closed it. I clicked the captlone email for the reward link and I added it again and it gave me a free shipping option for next Friday. It actually works great because I can take Friday off. Exciting!!!

I had the same problem a few weeks ago when my Yamaha receiver died and the next day I saw the Onkyo on sale.

I connected it last Saturday and I must say I absolutely love it!

I'm glad you were able to get in on the deal. Talk about perfect timing!

On Amazon, the cheapest SEVEN channel receiver is $650 (Onkyo 6100) at the moment...and the cheapest NINE channel receiver is $1100 (Onkyo RZ50).

So yeah, I'd say this is a solid deal in today's hyperinflated marketplace.

Agreed with the hyper-inflated market. This is crazy. BB has the Onkyo TX-SR494 for $450 and it's 7.2 channels, but it also has wonderful spring clips for everything other than the L/R speakers.

Thinking I should have jumped on the Integra DRX 3.4 back when it was $560 here last year. Hope we see some deals on the RZ30 and RZ50 this BF.

I had a pretty old pioneer receiver in a klipsch rp 5.1.4 setup and picked this onkyo 7100 up as this was the cheapest entry point to try dirac and I was really impressed. Then I ended up getting a klipsch 1600sw and wow, I decided to get another. So I upgraded to the pioneer lx805 to control both subs and get dirac live bass control. I've been really happy with dirac, and I feel like with some tinkering it is so worth it. At this point I do wish I had went with dennon or marantz to get dirac art, I also run some butt kickers so control of 4 subs would be nice but I'm no audiophile, I would have a tough time to justify spending so much more for what I would expect to be a minimal upgrade for my shitty ears. When no one is home and I can get a quiet house (almost never) I enjoy pulling out the umik1 and doing calibrations in dirac. I would have been happy with the 7100 if I ran 1 sub probably 2 even. Threw the 7100 in my garage running some old polk speakers and an old klipsch 12" sub, sounds amazing.
