Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy


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

When my Dad found something he used and liked he bought a 2nd one.
I am currently using one of his Onkyo TX-SR500 HT units. The volume knob does not work but the remote control volume button does.

Maybe I should fire up the backup. 😊

I have a little Onkyo integrated in my bedroom system. It's a killer. So much better than what it should be. 

Years ago I had an A10. I wish I had that back.

So I dismiss the opinions of people dissing Onkyo and terribly un/misinformed.

Late 80s I owned the Integra P304 & M504 combo driving JBL L100s in a all analog system. With classic rock, sounded good to my ears at the time. My tastes and knowledge have been refined quite a bit since, but I enjoyed the heck out of that system. Two channel audio gear has come a long way since, imo. 

@jjss49 Just the folks that depended on this company to earn a living.

bud, give me a break... you don’t seem to understand what bankruptcy filing is... (and that sharp japan bought the remains of onkyo)...

furthermore, part of life is knowing who to hook your wagon to... after years of declining sales, failure of products, losses, anyone surprised and left hanging by this b-k filing is fully deserving of the outcome... it's not like writing hasn’t been on the wall for eons

Never owned an Onkyo product, have listened to few, respect them for PX-100M turntable and some of their Grand Integra series products. It is true that though their pricing was competitive if done with less buttons and frills they could sell much better. Styling was conservative even to late days.
