At this price point you will not find anything that passed their testing
The Denon X3800 failed as well and the X4800 barely passed

I dont know anything under $2500 ish that has passed their testing

At this point there are a lot of this model out there and based on feedback , on AVS forums, I would people are extremely happy
No Auro-3D for RZ50 if that's important to you. It's only available in the latest RZ70 firmware update.

Nice deal....this is a GREAT receiver for this price..
I have owned this for a about a month.. Unless the RZ70 hits sub $2K again ... I dont think there is anything out there that competes with this, all in, for units at the $2K, and lower, price point.

This will be front page by tomorrow I would guess.

I've been using this receiver for a couple years now. A great deal at almost msrp and an absolute no brainer for $950 new.

Lowest price for this, if it's the one you were after good price.

If not,depending on whether you need pre outs, look at the Pioneer 305/505 for a better deal.
They've been having better pricing for pretty much the same performance.

Poor performing. Maybe they totally re-engineered it? Unlikely.

I have two of these receivers for 2 years now. This is a great deal for a solid performer with Dirac Live.

For those that find this important, as someone pointed out Denon's 4800 passed.

It's gotten down to $1299, probably will again.
For the extra money you get all the features the RZ70 offers and more.

Dirac Live(& DLBC) are options.
If that's important, even paying non sale price($350) for DL is less expensive than the RZ70.
DLBC is the same cost option for both.

If you are concerned about amps , just get outboard amps for the front 3 speakers.

i have done that for several of our install customers. for a reasonable cost, a 3 channel amp gets you an excellent combo rivaling separates and you get the bonus of Dirac included in the processor which you can't anywhere else at this price point.

I couldn't find much details on pre-outs in RZ50 manual. Can I use pre-amp for LRC and power rest of the channels using RZ50?
