But you can set your Fronts different than your Center and Sides, Heights, etc, yes?

Could you help me understand the takeaway on Jay's picture showing the Crossover settings? To me it doesn't specifically confirm each paired channel can have independent crossover freqs? Unless I'm missing something. Thank you!

https://www.onkyousa.com/product/tx-rz50-9-2-channel-thx-certified-av-receiver/ Mothership has released RZ50 for Pre-order now. Ships in September.

7100 is pre-orderable on Onkyo's page: https://www.onkyousa.com/product-category/a-v-receivers/a-v-receivers-processors/

Both are capable of processing 11.2 channels, but only 9 discrete amplifiers. Usually the Zone 2 terminals and Height 2 terminals are powered by the same amp, so you have to program the receiver which apply's to your geo-spatial setup. ie, do you want a powered 7.2.2 or a 5.2.2 with a working 2...

Thanks for the context from AVS guys, I'm assuming. The brushed aluminum accounting for the $100 delta makes sense and is the primary reason it's my 1st choice. (One other picky reason is that I'd like the additional 12V triggers) And finally, to be super duper picky, Elite's less clunky AVR...

I'm with you if Pre-outs is your #1 ranked Feature. But after that, the RZ50 measures better against the 6A. Plus, Yamaha is being lazy and not even releasing their lines with the 2.1 / VRR features already enabled. Sorry, but this is a "B.S" thing for a product line in the $2-3K range. www...

Thanks for the very descriptive new product thread! I have been looking for a replacement for my Onkyo 708 I've had for the last 11 years. Denon caught my eye late last year, but I think that my patience will pay off as both the RZ50 and the Elite 505 are in my ballpark!

The A4 has nothing on the RZ. You might want to compare those products again.
