Looks good, looks like a Pioneer!
I only wish the power output was spec was measured as 2 channels.
With 8 ohm loads, both channels driven, from 20-20,000 Hz; rated 140 watts (TX-RZ900)/135 watts (TX-RZ800) per channel minimum RMS power, with no more than 0.08% total harmonic distortion from 250 milliwatts to rated output.
it's in the sub £1K market that Yamaha, may, "be looking over their shoulders"; but not in this price bracket. They have equivalent offerings above £1K. Yamaha will be looking over their shoulders at this one.
Agree. Would not consider another onkyo now.I think Onkyo shot themselves in the foot when they dropped Audyssey in favour of their own proprietary system?
there is a predictably massive thread debating it on avs, it basically applies practically no EQ so is essentially useless as an EQ solution. They advertise this as a feature though which makes it appealing to a certain subset of the community.Didn't know that Onkyo dropped audyssey - has there been reviews of their own system? Sounds like a big mistake to me!
This HDMI implementation (all inputs, or some designated inputs?) is not bandwidth-limited like last year's models:ONE BIG Issue no 4:2:2 12bit/10 60/50HZ only 25HZ
Wow. Undoubtedly it became a question of licensing costs, yet most of their sales must be to enthusiasts no? I wouldn't consider any purchase now which didn't embed EQ solutions such as ARC or Audyssey...
NO this is not my point No one today have screen with REC2020So to your point, these Onkyos are not claiming rec.2020 color -
With only 7 channels of amplification and offering only 5.1.2 processing this is hardly a cracker realistically you need 4 height channels for Dolby Atmos or DTSX these 2 amps look poor value to meLooks a cracker! Bang up to date, with latest height formats and competitively priced. Yamaha will be looking over their shoulders at this one.
I only wish the power output was spec was measured as 2 channels.
They should also cut the bull.... 'push pull... Darlington...'
They need to offer 7.1.4 at this price so 9 channels of amps and processing for 11 channels at the very least Marantz and Denon lead the way here
