US$190 is slightly above the going median of US$180 for this model, so it reads as fair-to-a-bit-ambitious rather than a bargain.
That said, it’s not a bad ask if the unit is clean and fully functional, because this is a solid vintage integrated with a respectable, listenable house sound and enough power for many efficient to moderate-load speakers. The upside here is mainly in condition and provenance: original-owner care, intact cosmetics, and proof it’s been used gently matter more than chasing a few dollars. If it includes the remote, manual, or original box, that helps justify the price; if not, I’d still consider it, but I’d try to land closer to the median.
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.
