    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    I will inquire with Onkyo. If this happens on the RZ70, perhaps they can do a FW fix or App note to let users know how 5.1 is handled with surround speakers.

    New Line up of AV Receivers from JBL

    It's definitely a 2CH rating as it states in their specs. It claims 900 watts max power consumption so if it was truly 140x9 ACD, it would have to consume > 1400 watts (assuming 90% efficiency). It's probably closer to 80-90wpc x 9 ACD which is still pretty good.

    Not planning on testing the A1H any time soon. I wish I had an assistant to do measurements on my AP. I'm completely slammed RN.

    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    I will have my reviewer test for routing issue on RZ70. I heard the RZ50 has the nanny problem I noted about power tripping but haven't confirmed via my own testing.

    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    I bought a 4 port auto switching 40Gbps HDMI selector from Gefen for like $70 that let's me connect all 4 of my game systems to 1 hdmi port on my AV10 in a remote location. No issue. Nobody is giving you the Onkyo amp section for under $3500. To me that's a far more important concern.

    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    Nothing wrong with the Front HDMI connection if you want something quick and easy to access. It's impossible to offer 40GBps support on the front port without a separate HDMI board. I think it's a good compromise and I noted it in my unboxing video.

    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    If more consumers ping Dirac about the importance of this fix, I think it will help. I think they underestimated how many users would want fullrange towers with LFE support in their systems. I know we will get there eventually and feel badly that I can't use the system now AS IS with my current...

    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    Nope it doesn't work properly. It neuters the bass below 20Hz on my main Left/Right speakers. I may re-run ART and then add a shelving filter to bring the bass back. But, Dirac told me their working on this as well as an Infrasonic correction update which should be ready ready to test before...

    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    The LFE bass routing was a feature I asked Denon/Marantz for years. They finally were able to implement. Onkyo and others will likely copy in future models similar to how they did Preamp Disconnect (another feature I lobbied for) in AVRs.

    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    so far I'm not impressed with ART. I have it on my Storm ISP and keep it turned off. I'm hoping they can refine it because it sucks the life out of my system right now and neuters the infrasonic bass on my main speakers.

    Integra DRX-8.4 11.2CH Flagship AVR Better than Denon?

    I highly doubt the Pioneer or Integra will bench test any differently than the Onkyo. All 3 have identical power consumption ratings on the back panel. I asked Onkyo multiple times about this and never got an answer. I suspect same power across all 3 products, especially since Onkyo underrated...

    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    I have NOT heard this. If anyone is a candidate for ART, it's Marantz/Denon, since they are the ONLY AVR manufacturer with 4 independent sub outs and Dirac support.
