Against your recent GBP comps, £80 sits at the 25th percentile and well below the £104 median, so this is a genuinely attractive buy rather than a merely fair one. It is not quite a bargain by your strict cutoff because it is not below £80, but it is priced at the low end of the market and looks sensibly anchored rather than stretched.
That makes sense for a well-regarded Onkyo integrated: these are solid, musical, no-nonsense amplifiers with enough drive for typical efficient bookshelf or standmount speakers, and the A-905X is the sort of older Japanese amp people still chase for its clean, unfussy sound. At £80, the main upside is value if it is fully working and unmolested; I would just confirm smooth pot operation, relay/noise-free switching, and that the seller can verify basic functionality before you jump.

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.
