I prefer Denon but imo, if the Onkyo RZ30 comes back down to $700, I think that's gonna be the better buy in the long run.
This only offers MultiEQ, mono/parallel sub out, no sub HT.

I think there are higher performing units out there for close to this price

However, I suspect at this price point this could hit front page

Got a display model open box at Bestbuy a few weeks ago for $300. At $500 it's not worth it in my opinion

It has been this price for a while there. It was this price on July 7th and everyday since then. My research at the time said that it was not a good price, but I think receiver prices have gone up. Unfortunately this looks fairly old so I am hesitant on this one. I believe it came out in 2022.

Missing all the accessories and remote but I was able to get them on Amazon. I think the MultiEQ is a little weak.

I've been using this model for the past 2 - 3 years. Pretty good receiver and it should be fine for most people. The 980 model is barely upgraded and not worth a whole lot more IMO.
