Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • The AVR alone to run 11 channels will cost you at least 2,200 (RZ70 or LX805); many 11 channel AVRs are 3k or more.
  • I'd vote RZ-70 for Dirac and independent subwoofer outputs.
  • No one mentioned the upgraded Sabre dac in the rz70 and audiholics did a deep dive test and at 2 channel driven at 8 ohms its 170 wpc and 4ohms its pushing 265 wpc over its rated 140 wpc
  • The RZ70 would be your friend. Due to the legacy inputs for older gaming units.
  • If I had the budget 70 for sure

Cons

  • I have looked at Marantz Cinema 30, Denon A1H, Denon A10H, Sony 7000ES, Onkyo RZ70, Yamaha A8A.
  • No way I’d pay the premium for the 70.

The 70 is super tempting, but the 30 is already a beast and a lot cheaper.

From what I’ve read the RZ70 has Dirac Live and is future proofed with HDMI 2.1 across all ports.
