Marantz Cinema 40 AVR Review

[voip-ninja]

The onkyo rz70 seems to be a much better value. Comparable dacs, free basic Dirac, and the ability to expand to DBLC. I don't know about the 4subs out but I find that overkill.

rz70 does not have Audyssey XT32 and likely has the same problem my RZ50 does with switching power rails with a very loud relay click randomly while driving low impedance speakers.

I don't know if the relay clicking is related to the low impedance issue for the RZ50 but the RZ70 is a robust, high-current design and exhibits none of the symptoms!

Even if RZ70 does not have the switching issues I have with RZ50 I would still not buy it because it only has Dirac and Dirac sucks for low volume listening.
