Te koop aangeboden: een paar onkyo d-33x speakers.
Are you comfortable paying a premium for a compact vintage Onkyo speaker set? At €500, this is well above the typical used range: it sits far beyond the €319 75th percentile and roughly triple the €153 median, so the asking price is ambitious rather than fair.
That said, Onkyo’s smaller bookshelf speakers from this era can sound lively and engaging, with solid imaging and a pleasingly full balance when they’re in good shape. If these are exceptionally clean, original, and come with grilles or stands, that helps, but it would still need to be a standout example to justify this number. For most buyers, this is a pass unless condition and completeness are unusually strong.
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.
