Onkyo, Pioneer Fiscal Year Ends Soon with Looming Bankruptcy.

[Hetfield]

Saw that at AVSForum before the 700 range models was released, some Denon insider at German said they are considering it. I think D&M will keep very close watch how Onkyo and Pioneer sells with Dirac and the feedback. I`m puzzled why Yamaha engineers still living in stone age, unless they have done some critical changes to the YPAO version of upcoming top three models.

@M Code Onkyo and Pioneer will ship the cheaper mic with these units, so Umik-1 or similar better one is likely bought for those who want best results from Dirac. Check the price of Onkyo NR7100 / LX305 and Denon X3700H (1300$), how they can sell it so cheap? While people are always saying the fees company has to pay are higher for Dirac than for Audussey. I thought the pricing would have been higher than for D&M products, but quite the opposite.

Yeah. YPAO is not great I agree with that.

Will the avrs have the ability to incorporate the calibration files from other mics or is Dirac in these avrs done via external computer that can accommodate any mic calibration file?

Watch this video. I don´t know anything more.

Yes, that indicates that you can use a calibrated mic/computer setup instead of the built-in app in the avr.....

thats how Dirac works. Your computer captures the audio samples and sends it to UK where a supercomputer analysis it. Then moments later you download the results onto your AvR from your computer. At least from what I’ve seen.

Seems you can use the avr alone, tho? Maybe I need to dig some more, tho

So...there's been complete radio silence on these new products that are supposed to start shipping next month. Are Onkyo/Pioneer officially dead? I've been waiting to order the new RZ50, but if it's vaporware I need to start a new search.

Voxx/Sharp deal was supposed to have news on 5/20/21. Nothing yet...

From whom did you get that date? (nvm just found it)
The share holders meeting is at 25th June

Strata-gee's latest assessment, about a month before the Voxx LOI announcement is interesting.

Onkyo Corps' Struggle to Survive: The Situation has Become Dire

Onkyo has notified the Tokyo Stock Exchange that its latest forecast shows that - despite their efforts - the company remains insolvent

www.strata-gee.com

It says the EVO Fund, an int'l private-equity fund, suddenly pulled out of a promised $56M deal to infuse new capital into Onkyo. The report mentions order fulfillment and credit problems as a factor.

So what spooked EVO, and what is Voxx seeing that EVO didn't? I do hope Onkyo survives. More competition and consumer choices are better.

Below is correct URL on VOXX taking over Onkyo, based on approval at investor meeting June 25, 2021. I will look forward to Onyko returning along with high end Pioneer, enjoying its products starting in the 1970's. I have been upgrading Onkyo since 16 years ago, by favorite amp bought two years ago taken out by a surge through a Spectrum line not well grounded. Discovered then parts were no longer available. https://audioxpress.com/news/voxx-international-corporation-agrees-to-acquire-the-home-audio-video-business-of-onkyo-home-entertainment-corporation

Makes me wonder just how much that current debt totals....

I hope Pioneer makes it. I bought a VSX934 on sale and really like it.

I hope they both make it. I want competition for most badass products like we used to. Onkyo pre/pros were very nice and I'd love to see those make a return. Preferably with something other than their current RC.

They did announce Dirac equipped avrs.....I guess if the deal is confirmed maybe someone around here will take the dive!

I'm not counting them out just yet after recent events.

I might if the price is right. Other than my HDMI issue my Onkyo has been nothing but solid since I got it. I dealt a lot with all the AVR brands over the years, but Onkyo and Denon have been my favorites. Haven't owned Yamaha yet.

I like you had an Onkyo go south with the hdmi/network board issue and after the extended warranty repair has also been a champ. I have had a Pioneer, that didn't make it but a bit beyond warranty period. I like my Denons and my old cheap pre-hdmi Sony has been quite reliable. I've also not had a Yamaha....I'd rather not relearn the terminology
