€95 is fair-to-good for this Onkyo, and it starts to look like a decent buy if the unit is clean and fully working. The TX-8222-era Onkyos are respected as straightforward, no-drama stereo receivers: solid phono stage, good tuner section, and enough real-world power for most bookshelf or efficient floorstanding speakers.
What makes it worthwhile is the practical feature set and reputation for honest sound rather than flashy extras. For a used piece at this age, I’d mainly want confirmation that all inputs, the tuner, and the volume/balance controls are quiet and stable, plus that any remote is included; those are the details that matter more than cosmetics on a receiver like this.

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.
