Against your local comparable market, £105 sits below the £140 median and comfortably inside the lower half of the £94 to £216 spread. That makes it a fair-to-good buy rather than a stretch, and it’s close enough to the 25th percentile to feel attractively priced for a working example. If the unit is clean and fully functional, I’d view this as a sensible asking price with a bit of upside.
Onkyo amps are usually liked for solid, no-nonsense power and an easygoing presentation that works well in real systems. The main things to check are simple but important: that all channels and inputs behave properly, the volume control is quiet, and there’s no protection-mode drama or relay delay. If it’s been well cared for, this looks like a practical buy for someone wanting usable amplification without paying top of the market.

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.
