Onkyo A-RV400In perfect 100% working condition. Made in Japan and solidly built. All channels both groups working perfectly.Controls functions nearly mint.
Unknown condition makes USD 279 hard to justify. That is well above the seven-listing market’s USD 180 median and USD 185 75th percentile, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a bargain; a cleaner, tested example would need unusually strong provenance or restoration to support it.
The A-RV400 is a capable vintage integrated: roughly 100 watts per channel, with a useful built-in MM phono stage, Source Direct mode, and enough output for many bookshelf or floorstanding speakers. Its Japanese construction and straightforward feature set make it a worthwhile buy when priced sensibly, but at USD 279 the buyer should expect demonstrated operation, quiet controls, healthy inputs, the original remote if available, and ideally service documentation. Without those assurances, negotiating toward the USD 180 range makes more sense.
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.
