Condition is unknown, so the only solid anchor is price: at US$90, this is a strong bargain versus the recent used market’s US$145 25th percentile and US$157 median. It sits well below typical asking levels, so even allowing for the lack of condition details, it’s priced like a deal rather than a gamble.
That makes sense for an M-282: it’s a straightforward, well-liked 100 WPC Onkyo power amp with a reputation for clean, honest drive and good reliability. If it’s fully working and not missing anything obvious, this is the kind of buy that leaves room for a service check or a little patience on shipping and still lands comfortably below market.
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.
