Onkyo TX-RZ800

While Onkyo’s TX- NR838 is still a T3 favourite, its successor looks even sharper, thanks to a radical new (and rather lovely) chassis design, with a large metal flap concealing the front controls. Onkyo didn’t want to scare anyone with the number of buttons, but then there are a great many features to cater to, such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X processing.
