I fixed a severe mid-bass null (increased sub distance), which made a HUGE difference, not only restoring mid-bass tactile feel, but also benefited subtle sounds like foley effects. I set my own speaker distances and levels using an SPL meter. 7.) I don't use the AVR's room EQ (some said doing so resulted in some hiss with high sensitivity speakers like mine). I don't use its Ethernet or Wifi and update firmware using USB flash drives. The used SVS PC13 needed a Bash Amp repair for a failing Thermistor.)Īlthough the RZ830 has built-in Chromecast, supports AirPlay®, DTS Play-Fi®, FlareConnectv™, etc, I use it only for physical media (UHDs/Blu-Rays/DVDs/CDs). (Biggest bargain was the veneer damaged RF-83's for $100 each. The RF-83 and RC-64 both dip below 4 ohms at some frequencies.) The SVS and all the Klipsch speakers were bought used or damaged. (Sound&Vision's sensitivity tests (1 meter with a 2.83-volt input, grilles on) shows the RF-83 at 94dB, RC-64 94.5dB, and RS-62 at 93.5 dB. And I have no complaints on its power output with the above speakers. (I used the same fan setup on previous Yamahas and an older Onkyo NR3007 receiver.) The RZ830 runs much cooler than my NR3007 did. I use two 120mm adjustable speed USB powered fans (with foam weatherstrip on fan bottom edges), placed on top rear vents of the receiver to help draw hot air off the HDMI board. I'm very familiar with the problems earlier Onkyo receivers had (I own an NR3007), but all things considered (features, performance, price), I am very pleased with the RZ830 after about a year and a half of use. (Using the remote control, I can switch between 5.1.4 & 7.1.2 speaker configurations.) Crossover on the RF83s is 60Hz, the rest at 80Hz. My RZ830 powers (used) Klipsch RF-83s (L/R), RC-64 (C), RS-62s (Sides), RS-41s (Rears/Heights), and Synergy S3s (Front Heights). It replaced a Yamaha RX-A3050 (long story, but it didn't fail). (Amazing price considering the RZ830 has 9 amps, supports 11 speakers with an external 2-channel app, supports Dolby Vision, ATMOS/DTS-X, AirPlay 2 and eARC.) I bought my Onkyo RZ830 for $479.99 ("Open Box", actually new) locally in Spring 2019 when they had big discounts on 2018 models. I used all the tips below on my Onkyo RZ series receiver.
