At £140, this sits right on the median of the recent GBP comps, so it reads as a fair, market-priced buy rather than a bargain. With a 25th percentile of £109 and a 75th percentile of £157, the ask is comfortably in the normal trading band for this model.
That makes it attractive if the unit is genuinely clean and fully working, because the TX-NR626 is a well-liked mid-tier AVR with solid surround decoding, plenty of HDMI switching, and the sort of feature set that still suits a sensible home-cinema setup. The main upside is getting a capable, proven receiver at a fair price; just make sure it includes the remote, microphone, and enough cooling headroom if it’s going into a closed cabinet.
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.
