It is ONKYO, I still love them.

I gave the 70 a 5 star rating, although I would like to give it a 4.75 rating, don't get me wrong, this is a great A/V receiver and for the money, probably the best one you can buy. The only problem I have is, I really hate it when a company ( and not just Onkyo, a lot of companies do this) but I hate it when they put out a new "Flagship" item such as this rz70 , and then they remove features that you use all the time and that the item you are replacing actually has. I mean come on Onkyo, where is my Onkyo Doc connections and support and my matched outputs. I do however love the the unit and would recommend it highly, it does have some integrations that my other Onkyo didn't have, but I don't think it should be touted as the most powerful and best Onkyo has made, because I think my other one is more powerful and has more versatility, but this one does have more built in ability and slightly better DSP's and video processing. As I said before, for the cost, it has to be the hands down best you can buy, you would easily spend an extra grand on another brand to get something that compares to this one. I say just buy it and then place and install correctly the speakers for a 7.2.4 setup and run the dirac live full program, and you too will love it. While I know it a great receiver for other speaker arrangements, I think you are cheating yourself and really missing out on the beauty of this unit if you do anything other than 7.2.4

Trust your research - worth the hype

Extremely heppy with this receiver. I haven't had a single issue with it after about 9 months of decent use. It accompanied a new set of Klipsch speakers, and I think it's so dang cool there's integration between the receiver and the specific type of Klipsch speakers I have. This thing has a crap ton of simply pure POWER to every speaker which my still relevant Yamaha couldn't handle - actually no Yamaha could handle what I wanted to do with the high watts /channel. I love how it barely heats up with whatever I'm doing: Xbox Series X at 120fps, streaming local 4K UHD movies, or using it as a WiFi network/host to play Spotify from (wish Spotify had better quality just in general) - but I do have a top-mounted fan for insurance. If you've done your research and find yourself here reading my review, you won't be disappointed

Top AV-Receiver!

This is the best 7.2.4 AV-Receiver currently on the market! Phantastic sound and a big thumbs up for staying with THX listening modes! My personal tip for the next generation AV-receiver: get rid of analogue video outputs. Nobody who buys a high end receiver needs them anymore. It´s just an unnecessary source of electrical signal interference. Instead, integrate two pairs of symmetrical analogue stereo audio XLR inputs, in order to be able to connect high end UHD-BD player and media player stereo audio outputs.

"made for gamers" but does not support 1440P QHD resolution from an Xbox.. I literally bought this as a very expensive upgrade from a TX NR 616 which could throughput QHZ to 60hz, and this has been a huge disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Do-it-all AVR!

I've had this for a few months now as part of my home theater and music only listening. Using Dirac Live with the optional DLBC has made subwoofer integration flawless. I use separate amplifiers for the front speakers, to avoid running long speaker cables because the equipment is in the back of the room. Therfore the Pre-outs are invaluable. There are so many audio modes available, many configurations can be tried. I'm runnning with 7.2.4 and it is amazing.

Could it be to Good

After living with the Polk Legend 800, they make me wonder about speakers that do not have stereo dimensional array technology interaural crosstalk is very real. They put sound exactly where it should be that is in the recording, the detail, clarity and base is amazing.
I went from Onkyo NR7100, then Onkyo RZ50, and now the RZ70.
The NR7100 was awesome on the Polk Legend 800, then the RZ50 was beyond expectations and now the RZ70 is just mind blowing, I hear things in recording the creator may not have been aware is in the recording like a musician thuring sheet music and hearing a gnat flying around the mic on a top of the chart Hit, all the Onkyo's I mentioned are Bi-Ampable, I Bi-Amp them all I would recommend to anyone purchasing any of the Polk Legend Series to Bi-Amp.
If I had purchased originally just the Onkyo RZ70 paired with the Polk Legend 800 I would never know what I have, but all these Onkyo RZ50 paired to the Polk Legend 600 and the NR7100 paired to the Polk Legend 200 tell me what I have so I appreciate the Onkyo RZ70 paired to Polk Legend 800 even more.
Onkyo NR7100 paired to Polk Legend 200: Bi-Ampable, Just the Left and Right Channel no Center Channel Bi-Amp.
Onkyo RZ50 paired to Polk Legend 600 Just the Left and Right Channel no Center Channel Bi-Amp.
Onkyo RZ70 paired to Polk Legend 800 all 3 Channels “LCR'' Left, Center and Right are Bi-Ampable.
Now I can hear every detail like never before.
Now I can hear every detail like never before.
Now feel it with a pair of REL H T/1205 for .1 LFE everything is SQL with just the right amount of SPL.
Integrated a Sub on Center Chanelle to balance the system because the L800 goes down 32 hz and the L400 only goes down to 55 hz adding a REL T/7X that goes down to 30 hz balanced everything out.
