This is a solid old-school integrated amp, and €130 is a touch above the sweet spot but still reasonable if it’s clean and fully working. Recent asking prices cluster more like €50–€90, with nicer dealer pieces up around €115–€159, so €130 sits in the upper half of the market rather than being a bargain.
What makes it worth considering is the Onkyo’s reputation for a straightforward, gutsy sound and a useful phono stage, plus it’s a late-’80s Japanese amp that still has real appeal on a desk or in a second system. At this price, the key is condition: confirm all inputs work, pots and switches are quiet, and there’s no channel imbalance or relay delay drama. If it’s truly well-kept and serviced, it’s a fair buy.

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.
