    Great Review, just bought RZ50 and calibrated it with dirac live, speakers sound great. I have applied harman 10 curve too but it still lacked bass. After checking it did drop "subwoofer level" to -13 db, had to adjust in order to get better bass. Did you have to adjust that? Or speakers/sub levels were set correctly by dirac.

    Nice video! Thanks for sharing. I was hoping you were going to show how you wired your amplifier to achieve 7.1.4 configuration. Which channels did you power with your external amp? I have heard that the surround backs are the unpowered channels? Is that true?

    • @cs.studios
      @cs.studios  2 года назад

      The TX-RX50 has all speaker terminals populated except “zone 2” terminals. The “surround back” terminals are used for height 2. For rca pre-out I have “surround back” from rz50 going to the external amplifier. These power the surround backs. I chose those since most content is 5.1 and those channels won’t always be in use. The power they receive is sufficient

    Great job on the video. Hope to have my ordered RZ50 in the next few weeks. Once you ran Dirac it looks like you instantly changed crossover setting before you actually listened to the results.

    Hi Recently bought Onkyo TX RZ50 receiver replacing my old Harman Kardon AVR 3600. I used chromecast hooked up projecting from 1080p projector BenQ HT 3050 an amazon prime movie. through the onkyo receiver I find that images are not as crisp as seen while using the Harman Kardon which are very crisp.
    I also find that sound through Onkyo Receiver diesn't dynamically adjust volume to maintain same volume over dialogues and background music loudness.
    any ide why images are not as crisp as what Onkyo should have dleivered?
    and why sounds are not balanced well between dialogues and background music ?

    One quick comment. When set to "Enhanced" on the receiver my LG C1 HDMI self check it gets flagged as NG. I have to set it to Standard for the diagnostics to read OK. The receiver would run hot and automatically lower the volume. Thought I had a defective receiver until I figured this out.

    thank you for details on the setup, GUI and some of the impressions. I do think changing the xo post the Dirac calibration takes away some of the filter results of the (pretty massive) calculations done. Same goes for distances/delays, (lesser impact) levels and, of course, speaker configuration, you should apply a custom target curve (Harman +6dB or +10dB seems much liked over at AVS) in Dirac app and the transfer the new filters.

    Great video! I am currently deciding between those two models (4700 and RZ50) and I have totally opposite results to yours… the Denon to me is clearly better on music and the RZ50 feels better on movies 🤷🏻‍♂️ so I am trying to make the best decision as I do like to use AVR for music and on the Denon is much easier to have saved presets and change seamlessly between music and movies. On the Onkyo, need to manually adjust stuff for 2-channel music. I don’t want to make the wrong decision here 😅 How do you like the Onkyo thus far?

    • @cs.studios
      @cs.studios  Год назад +1

After doing some digging, I discovered that with onkyo avrs and pioneer, they don't supply a 2nd height channel connection forcing you to give up a 7.1.4 and settle for a 5.1.4.

The only bad thing is I already bought an ext amp, an Emotiva XPA 3 channel amp which cost as much as the RZ=50 to run my 3 front channels. I was following the advice of some expert reviewers, and they were right. That's exactly where you want to put the best quality amplification towards. Had I known this, I would have bought a 5 channel ext amp instead of a 3 channel. I was fooled because nowhere on any reviews did I here about this missing feature. All I heard was that to achieve a full 7.1.4 atmos with a 9.2 avr, you need an ext amp to make up the 2 missing channels. These guys I looked up, Plugged the ext amp to the front stage, leaving the avr to handle the light loaded channels. In conclusion, I had to buy a second ext less expensive amp for the surr backs. So I have 2 ext amps and 1 avr. Somewhere on those reviews, someone could have said something about this.

    Nice Video, however The results of Dirac and Audyssey have different targets, apparantly with Dirac you can choose for a "wide sweetspot" which is a contradiction in and by itself, while Audyssey just goes for a tight sweetspot. It is recommended to not move the mic more than 2feet from the MLP, no matter how many measurements you take. Going by that same logic, you may get a much better result with Dirac if you follow the same logic, to try and cover a whole couch is IMHO already pushing it.

      @@shaolin95 no matter what system you prefer, you need to 1st place speakers optimally, 2 have a half decent room) and 3 know what you are doing. The more things are off , the more versatile Dirac is, no doubt, that is, again, if you know what you're doing, which excludes 90% of the commenters here from being able to Dirac a system to its fullest potential. I had a good sounding system go to an excellent sounding one by just Audysseying it. But my room is a perfect rectangle with no weird angles and all speakers are placed inch perfect. That alone will do more than any calibration can. The calibration is just the Cherry on top. I am no-ones fanboy.

      I did the same. I wanted speaker headroom so i went for an amp to power my klipsch LCR. But my surrounds arent klipsch. Sides are 3-way infinity towers and heights are 4 svs prime elevations. So i went ahead and did the external amp, and it definately makes a difference. Plus its good for longevity of your receiver, so i viewed the extra power/upgrade as an investment to my system's performance and longevity. Granted I dont blast my system, i probably use 10% of rated power. But the system performs much better and equipment runs less hot.

    I have listened to these latest models from Onkyo and I have got the very first network generation the TX and r609 and 579 and I have to say they both incorporate Odyssey which absolutely destroys any new version of room correction at all that is why Denon and Moran's use it and more than likely outsell Onkyo
    Excellent video
    And for the last 10 years I have never used a subwoofer I have floor standing front speakers but not very expensive have you tried putting the crossover frequency to the lower number on the front speakers or even bypass or even full band that will make sure that your fronts are getting the full power excellent video

    Thanks for the video! But I think you should make your room better before calibrating with Dirac. Like move the system out from the side wall. And move surround speakers down. Why do you have all the surround and atmos up at the ceiling in the back? Move the center channel out because the way you have it setup will reflect sound badly on the tv bench. Also that center does not go down to 80hz so why would you set it to 80hz? Sorry but changing this would result in so much better sound. You can also invest in some acoustic treatments that will make the sound even better :)
