So let's say the shareholders give the deal a green flag on the 25th. Any ideas on how long it would take from that point to spool up manufacturing and start shipping units to dealers? It would be helpful to know if it's going to be another 6 months so I can start shopping elsewhere (Yamaha) if...

Any idea when the new models with all the specs will be added to the Onkyo website?

I worry how scratch-prone that glossy face will be. Seems most glossy electronics scratch simply by wiping dust off with a soft cloth. Brushed/matte finishes have been en vogue for decades for a reason.

I'm also right-handed but don't find it difficult to twiddle a knob with my left. :T

The Onkyo TX-RZ50 is clearly the best match for my needs considering price, features and Dirac. Love its clean looks too. BUT...WHEN WILL WE KNOW IF IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO SHIP??? Also, initial info indicates YPAO is gaining bass control. Dirac's, er, "Bass Control" module would...

Posted via a member (AVR Enthu) on AVS Forum: RX-A8 11 amplified channels ~£3300 ($3000) New model - 11 Amplified channels RX-A6 9 amplified channels ~£2300 ($2200) vs £2000 ($2000) successor of the RX-A3080 RX-A4 7 amplified channels ~£1300 ($1300) vs £1000 ($1200) successor of the...

Prices are listed on Crutchfield for pre-order: RX-A4A $1,299.95 RX-A6A $2,199.95 RX-A8A $2,999.95 All but the RX-A4A are too rich for my blood. The RZ50 will sell for what, $200 less than the RX-A4A? Sounds great to me, if it actually ships. How long before we find out?

Only if they actually get released. That's the big question right now. I would certainly buy the RZ50 over the equivalent Yamaha if the RZ50 turns out to be an actual, buyable product. Will it? Who knows! Because Onkyo/Premium Audio Company LLC certainly isn't saying. June is, after all, only a...

If Onkyo's new receiver plans for this summer go up in smoke, perhaps this new Yamaha RX-A4A (said to be released in July) will be a reasonable substitute for the RZ50?

Nothing says "we're totally serious about this" than a name like "Premium Audio Company LLC." :rolleyesno:

A massive fall from grace if true. Like a band going from sold-out arena tours to playing at the local coffee shop on Thursday evenings. Ugh. The AVR market is an utter disaster right now. Not only can you not find anything available to buy, but nothing is worth buying even if you could find it.

Any news on whether we'll see an RZ50 on shelves in June or should I start shopping the few remaining brands? I'm ready to go to 4k and UST projection but I don't want to wait forever.
