Looking for an AV receiver to drive your surround-sound home theater? Check out the Onkyo TX-RZ630. Normally $799, it’s on sale right now for $450. But if you order from World Wide Stereo and use the code ‘GEAR’ at checkout, you can get another $50 off. The offer is valid through May 5th.
The Onkyo TX-RZ630 is a 9.2-channel AV receiver that’s primed for large rooms. The 9.2 configuration means it supports height channel speaker, so you can add two elevated front speakers to your setup and create an even more immersive sound experience. Even if you don’t have that elaborate of a system, the TX-RZ630 is still a great option; it supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound technologies to 5.2.4-channel systems.
Additionally, the Onkyo TX-RZ630 has most of the features you’d want in a modern AV receiver. It allows you to stream music to the system over AirPlay, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It has Chromecast built-in and supports DTS Play-Fi, meaning you can incorporate it into your current multi-room or hi-fi system. And, of course, it has 4K HDR passthrough so it’ll work with the latest and greatest 4K TVs.
