Should you pay US$400 for this? Against your database’s recent comps, that lands above the 75th percentile at US$386, so it reads ambitious rather than fair. With a median of US$180 and a 25th percentile of US$111, this is priced at more than double the typical middle-of-market asking level.
That only makes sense if it’s unusually clean, fully serviced, and complete with the right knobs, wood case, and any original paperwork or box. This is a respected vintage Onkyo integrated, so the appeal is in its solid build, warm/controlled presentation, and long-term usability if the internals are healthy. At this price, I’d want strong evidence of recent servicing and no scratchy controls, relay issues, or channel imbalance.

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.
