Super Zustand, kaum benutzt!!! (Ausstellungsstück)
Inklusive Fernbedienung+ 15 wieder beschreibbare MiniDisc
This €220 asking price is ambitious for an Onkyo A-15, sitting well above the typical used market where units often appear around €134–€180. With new-in-box equivalents listed at €179 and eBay averages hovering near €134–€180, this listing exceeds the 75th percentile of current used pricing, making it a weak deal unless the seller includes rare accessories or pristine, original-owner condition.
The A-15 remains a respected entry-level AV receiver from the late 1990s, known for solid analog performance and straightforward Dolby Digital decoding, but it lacks modern HDMI or high-resolution audio support. At this price, the buyer should verify the condition of the power supply and capacitors, common failure points in aging Onkyo units, and confirm that all remote functions and IR sensors work. Unless the listing is genuinely pristine with full original packaging, a fair buy would be closer to €150.
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.
