Although the TX-RZ3100 has many similarities to the Pioneer LX901 since Onkyo purchased Pioneer in 2014, there are some differences most notably with room correction. This 140 watt/ch, 11.2 channel receiver is built with enough high current power to drive large floor standing speakers with the ability to add additional height or ceiling speakers to unlock the full multi-dimensional experience delivered by built in Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It also incorporates DTS Neural:X technology to up-mix lossless multichannel surround formats such as DTS Master Audio, to emulate height effects and give listeners a 3D experience that’s close to a native object-based soundtrack. TXRZ3100 feature Zone 2 and 3 powered outputs for driving speakers in other rooms. Additional multi-room wireless audio capabilities are offered via optional FireConnect.
Why it made our list
Even though the TX-RZ3100 is one of the older receivers on our list, it's built with custom integration in mind. The TX-RZ3100 receiver contains features to make installation and integration with control systems easy. Connectivity options include RS-232, IR and 12v triggers as well as PC setup, detachable power cables and optional rack kits which will definitely simplify installation.

I've never had a problem with pioneer or their RC. You have to go to the LXSC 70x series and up to get the advanced MCACC. I use mini dsp for sub 200hz any way and dont touch anything above that.

I haven't heard anyone bragging about Pioneer's room correction or dynamic EQ. QUOTE].
