onkyo RZ...anybody?

I have been using an RZ-5100 pre/pro for over a year now, and I've been very satisfied with it's performance, overall. The hdmi bugs of past products are gone, and the features are very solid. I can not speak to the amps in the receivers, though, as I run separates.

The truth is that the new Onkyo surround receivers use cheaper materials these days like most brands in surround loudspeakers.

When you compare the weight of it to surround receivers in the past you see how much lighter they became these days.

We do business with a company who does repair of many famoud audio brands yoiu all know. He also does many brands in surround receivers. He sees and says that; the materials they use getitng cheaper each single year.

Many peole have the idea that it would be better when we go on in time. But....the truth shows different realities. At the end they count and they tell the real truth.

We tested the RZ products for Onkyo as well. We decided not to sell them based on the fact that we found the quality by far not acceptable. We saw to many other brands as well. We even did not find them acceptable too.
