This is a deal: at £150, it sits just below the £151 25th percentile and well under the £188 median for recent GBP comparables, so it reads as a genuinely strong buy rather than merely fair. It is not a massive giveaway, but it is priced on the right side of the market, especially for an integrated amp from a respected line.
The appeal here is straightforward: these Onkyos are usually bought for clean, controlled sound, solid build, and an easygoing all-round presentation that suits a lot of systems. At this level, the upside is getting a well-regarded amplifier without paying median money; if it’s complete and operating quietly, that’s the sort of listing enthusiasts should move on.

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.
