Is A$29 worth jumping on for a spare remote? Against your own comparable set, this is a strong bargain: it sits well below the A$163 25th percentile and far under the A$268 median, so the asking price looks excellent for a low-stakes, high-utility buy.
What makes it worthwhile is simple: a proper OEM remote restores day-to-day usability, and that’s often more valuable than it sounds when a receiver or amp is missing its original controller. At this price, the upside is obvious if the unit is clean, fully working, and the buttons aren’t worn out; for a genuine used original accessory, A$29 leaves plenty of room for a quick, sensible purchase.
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.
