Das gerät hat insgesamt 4 HDMI Eingänge, 2x optisch und 2xkaxial Digital-IN, 5x Analog IN sowie Anschlüsse für bis zu 9 Lautsprecher und einen aktiven Subwoofer.
An older AVR like this stands out mainly for being a solid, practical surround hub rather than a trophy piece. At €180, it sits well above the recent median of €111 and also above the 75th percentile of €180 only by a hair, so this reads as the top end of fair and only borderline ambitious if the listing is plain-vanilla.
What makes it worth a look is the usual Onkyo value proposition: plenty of connectivity, full 7.1 use, and enough amplifier muscle for a modest home theater or secondary system. If it’s clean, fully working, and comes with the remote and setup mic, the asking price can still make sense for someone who wants a straightforward AVR without paying new-model money. The main check is age-related wear, because with this class of receiver the condition and accessories matter more than the badge.
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.
