Review Summary
A higher standard of sound
The TX-RZ740 not only elevates sound, but also that satisfied feeling you get every time you switch it on. The extra weight of the custom transformer, custom 10,000 F capacitors and aluminum heat-sink speak of an amp built for high-current power, enabling 3D audio to exhibit true-to-life spatiality and pin-point localization. Bass force is terrific, dynamics blindingly fast and resolution grainless. SMART A/V Receiver gathers multi-room platforms supported by 802.11ac Wi-Fi or enjoy powered and unpowered audio distribution. The receiver, which supports up to 7.2.4-ch of 3D sound with external amp, is certified for IMAX Enhanced and is THX Certified Select for a theater-reference experience. From how it sounds to the way it makes you feel, the TX-RZ740 is made to savor now and in the future.
