Onkyo Announces TX-RZ70 Flagship AV Receiver
Onkyo has announced its new TX-RZ70 11.2 Channel flagship audio video receiver, which promises stellar audio performance and studio-level processing for music, home theatre, and gaming fanatics alike.
The 140 watt per channel network receiver breaks new ground to deliver the ultimate home entertainment experiences. HDMI 2.1, 8K/4K resolution, and 40GPS speeds come standard with this model with full bandwidth functionality for fastest refresh to keep up with the newest gaming consoles.
Featuring premium 32-bit ESS Sabre DACs offering unprecedented dynamic and ultra-low distortion, the welcome addition of Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Room Correction also comes standard at no additional cost.
The Onkyo TX-RZ70 AVR includes advanced music streaming and connectivity and works with smart home assistants like Alexa, Hey Google, and Siri. Roon Ready certification puts users' entire high-resolution music libraries at their fingertips (available with a firmware update in September 2023). Additional connectivity includes a Bluetooth transmitter with aptX for sharing audio to Bluetooth headphones and more.
This model joins the award-winning lineup of Onkyo AVRs featuring THX Certification, Klipsch Optimised Mode for peak performance with compatible hi-fi speakers, IMAX® Enhanced for clearer, brighter video and immersive audio, and much more.
It's great to see Onkyo back in the marketplace. The Onkyo brand was purchased by Premium Audio Company (PAC) in 2021. The company says, "it has been important for the company to retain and embrace the expertise and decades of institutional knowledge of the engineers at its Technology Center in Osaka".
Rob Standley, SVP of Global Brands – Elite, Pioneer, Integra and Onkyo, told StereoNET:
The flagship Onkyo TX-RZ70 AVR is one of the first projects our PAC product development team has worked on with the existing Onkyo engineering team and represents a new standard of performance in its class,
The Onkyo TX-RZ70 AVR will be available in North America in Spring 2023 and will sell for $2,799 USD.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
