£100 is a fair, slightly attractive ask for this one, not a steal but comfortably in the sensible used range for the model. Recent market snapshots show working examples commonly landing around £80-£150, with cleaner or better-presented units pushing a bit higher, so £100 sits near the middle and feels honest.
This is a well-regarded old-school AVR: strong build, good sound for cinema duties, and a feature set that still covers the basics well if you just want a competent hub for speakers and HDMI sources. The upside is best if it’s complete, unmodified, and fully functional with the remote and mic/room EQ bits; with unknown condition, make sure it powers cleanly, switches inputs reliably, and doesn’t run hot or show HDMI/board oddities before paying up.
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.
