Are you comfortable paying A$1,675 for a processor that sits well above the typical used market? Against the local benchmark, this is ambitious: the median comparable listing is A$243 and even the 75th percentile is A$486, so the asking price lands far beyond normal used territory.
That said, this is a respected 11.2-channel home-theater processor with real enthusiast appeal if you need its full feature set, surround decoding, and preamp flexibility. It makes the most sense for a buyer who specifically wants a high-end separates setup and values the right processor more than bargain pricing. At this level, I’d want strong proof of clean operation, remote, calibration mic, and any original accessories; otherwise, the premium is hard to justify.
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.
