Abholung bevorzugt. Versand nach Absprache möglich.
Der Verkauf erfolgt unter Ausschluss jeglicher Gewährleistung.
Are you getting a clean, fully working late-’80s Integra at a sensible price, or paying too much for a nice-looking vintage amp? At €400, this is fair to slightly firm rather than a bargain: the A-8690 is a respected 100 W/ch integrated with MM/MC phono, built-in DAC inputs, and hefty 14.5 kg construction, so it has real enthusiast appeal, but it is not rare enough to justify a premium unless condition and service history are excellent.
What makes it worth a look is the blend of muscle and flexibility: it can drive difficult speakers, offers proper phono support, and has the sort of well-specified, understated Onkyo sound many buyers still chase. If the listing is genuinely clean, original, and includes the remote-less basics working properly, it’s a solid buy for someone wanting a serious all-rounder from the era; at this price, I’d just want proof of quiet operation, healthy controls, and no DAC/input issues before jumping in.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Onkyo traces its roots to postwar Japan, founded in 1946 in Osaka by Takeshi Goda, an engineer at Matsushita Electric who envisioned high-quality Japanese loudspeakers. Initially established as Osaka Denki Onkyo K.K., the company began production in 1948 with the acclaimed ED-100 speaker featuring a 25 cm driver, quickly building a reputation through LP concerts and innovative designs that resonated with audiophiles.
The brand excels in premium home audio, renowned for AV receivers, hi-fi amplifiers, and surround sound speakers that deliver exceptional clarity and power. Its portfolio spans turntables, DACs, headphones, and cables, bolstered by acquisitions like Pioneer's home electronics division in 2015, enabling cutting-edge integrations such as internet radio and high-resolution streaming.
Onkyo holds a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by discerning buyers for reliable performance and value rather than ultra-high-end exotica. Despite bankruptcy challenges in the late 2010s, its revival under new ownership preserves a legacy of technological innovation and pure sound enjoyment, appealing to both vintage enthusiasts and modern home cinema setups.
