Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver Bench Test Results!

Onkyo absolutely floored me with their new TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV receiver. The TX-RZ70 features seven 8K HDMI inputs, Dolby Atmos, DTS, Auro 3D, IMAX Enhanced, and Dirac Live (standard) with an upgrade path to Dirac Live Bass Control. This 140-watt/channel x 11 receiver lives up to the hype as the “most powerful amplifier section in its price class,” as you will see in my exhaustive bench test results.

In this video, I discuss the implications of my testing (frequency response, SNR, distortion, power, etc.) and how they apply to real-world use cases. I offer guidance on how to best maximize the power of the AVR so you can achieve true reference-level performance in your own system. Is this the best-in-class AV receiver for under $3k? Watch our video to find out.
