Condition is unknown, so the real question is whether this sits in the usual used range; at £167, it looks like a strong bargain against the recent market anchor of £861 median, with the price also well below the £513 25th percentile. For a clean, working example, that’s the kind of number that should move quickly.
This is a well-regarded older integrated amp: solid, straightforward, and typically bought for its honest sound and usable power rather than flashy features. The upside is obvious if it’s been cared for and all functions check out, but with an amp of this age you still want a proper listen for noisy controls, relay/thump issues, and any channel imbalance before paying.
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.
