Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy


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

I've owned two Onkyo products and both were great. TA-2090 Cassette deck and TSXR-876 HT receiver (in use for over 12 years, still making great sound).

Can't wait to see what the future holds for Onkyo.

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.
