Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy


Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy. This was a premier brand when I was growing up.

I've owned several different HT receivers over the last 25 years, Onkyo, Sony, Denon and even an expensive B&K. The last 3 were all Onkyo and they easily bested the others, even the B&K. The B&K might have had better SQ, however, the user interface was so poor, compared to the Onkyo, that I could barely use it for everyday service. I'm a fan of Onkyo's higher-end HT receivers. Hope they come out of this OK.

I would never be anything but sad that a company and its employees would lose their jobs, but I would also never consider Onkyo as anything but a minor purveyor of low quality components. So I am very sorry for the company and its employees, but that's all.

Onkyo was decent Mid Fi.  I had a portable player that sounded great, and until a few years ago I was using their top AVR in HT system.  I replaced with Anthem because the Anthem Room correction made a huge difference.  Onkyo owned the Integra line which was essentially the same stuff with a higher price tag.  R.I.P.

Never owned anything Onkyo, nor would I want to, no big loss really....

I agree!
