Audioholics put the new Onkyo on his AP, and the results seem to be pretty good, especially for the money. For those who don't check Gene's page often.

Not bad at all... also, interesting to see Gene now using SINAD in his reviews;

The TX-RZ70 produced very low distortion of 99dB SINAD (.001% THD+N) for the main channels and 86dB SINAD (.005% THD+N) for the surround channels via the multi-ch preouts.

The amp section is very impressive. Also, has outstanding SNR.

Preamp section SINAD is very good too...

and it has dirac with optional DLBC - as long as 2 subs are sufficient (that would be most people!) - then it covers most bases!

Also the Integra reps at CEDIA, said that ART was on its way for the DRX 8.4 - which implies also for the RZ70 and LX805....

Onkyo Tx-RZ70

All the new AVRs seem to have a high drop from 5 to 7 channels. But that's really not that important for anyone who has a sub. I ran full range bi-amped fronts (7ch) for 13+ years so I was doubling my LR consumption and pushing low-end frequencies and it never complained or felt compressed...

I bought one from Sweetwater two weeks ago.
Very happy with the customer service, and more than happy with the power and the many options of the Onkyo TX RZ70. Paired with Monitor Audio Bronze series the sound is absolutely amazing. The manual is 213 pages long.I have it set up, but I have a lot yet to learn
