I bought an Onkyo A-9211 for £50 off eBay, where it was in absolutely mint condition. I'm using it as part of a bedroom hi-fi system in conjunction with Mission 780SE speakers (£15 off eBay) and a Raspberry Pi with HiFimeDIY Sabre U2 Asynchronous DAC for playing music using Squeezelite over Wi-Fi - including FLAC files and Spotify Premium. Certainly no complaints for the money - I'm getting great sound with the Missions through it - really nice punchy bass too.

Cheap nowadays , remote , two sets of speakers , power ,quality godd at the price.Midrange ok, kinda neutral

Distortion present at medium levels , high can be harsh, laid back ,weak sounstaging, undetailed , not that refined , need speakers that can handle bass, totally uncontrolable bass, messy low frequensies and undefined

Well , even for £69 pounds i would not recommend this amp.The reason is simple : even for £100 you could get these days a marantz (pm4200) or a cambridge that surely ,on the whole , will be better that this amp. Sound is ok ,average with medim-low detail, a bit crispy though but nothing special. Highs are ok but some times overdefined and harsh , midrange somewhat clear. A bit laid back , dynamics medium and not quite good at separation ;soundstaging not there. I could live with all that since the price is low if the amp hadn't one major flow - low frequensy responce. Bass is fatty , smudged and all over the place up to the lower midband. No control , no focus , no nothing.Don't even try to use it with standmounts that can't handle bass. At low volume my B&W's (602 s3) woofer was moving like it was made plasteline. At a damping factor of 60 (and i though paper specs did not mean anything)this amp really losses control over the speakers on the lows . Also, distorion is present at medium volume. I would still say , ok its only £69 s/h but since there are there many cheap amps , why bother while you get a NEW much better amp for around £50 more ?? It is somewhat neutral and could propably fit soneone with a low budget just looking to play some music rather an audiophile. If you find it really really cheap , ok i cannot totally write off the amp but just don't think it will be something of quality sound ,more like a "just play music" amp.

Warm sound rendition. Ideal for my classical music preferences.

None for the price

Excellent value for money. May be a bit on the weak side for large speakers since its maximum output is 60W at 4 Ohms.
