Versus a lot of the lightweight new budget integrated amps at this money, this Onkyo sits in fair territory: £105 is just above the £100 median and comfortably inside the normal used band of £90 to £119. It is not a steal, but it is priced sensibly enough that a clean, working example should be worth a serious look.
The A-9010 is well liked for being straightforward, musical, and better sorted than many entry-level amplifiers, with a solid phono stage and enough drive for modest speakers. If it’s complete, unmolested, and free of scratchy controls or relay issues, the real upside is getting a dependable, good-sounding amp without paying much of a premium.

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.
