Onkyo Reinvents Hi-Fi With New Powered Speakers and Streaming Audio

Onkyo has unveiled two new types of audio products at CES 2025, as part of its hi-fi reinvention, with powered speakers that can be paired with TVs and a series of streaming amplifiers.

The new devices, which follow the Klipsch Flexus collaboration, include the Onkyo GX10DB and Onkyo GX30ARC powered monitors, plus the Icon P-80 network preamplifier, M-80 power amplifier and A-50 network integrated amplifier.

The Creator Onkyo GX10DB ($199) and Onkyo GX30ARC ($299) active speakers are designed to be used on a desktop, and yet offer enough inputs to be used as a stereo system or even as a soundbar substitute (GX30ARC). These include Bluetooth, USB-C, Optical, RCA/iPhone, RCA Sub Pre-Out and Aux, while the GX30 adds HDMI.

The GX10 comes with a 3-inch woofer and 17×2-watt power while the larger GX30ARC has 25x2W power pushing a 4-inch woofer. Both models sport 3/4-inch tweeters and wooden stands which help point the speakers at a users’ ears. Both sets of speakers are due in the spring.

Meanwhile, Onkyo’s new hi-fi products go all-out for streaming with the P-80 network preamplifier ($1,999) and A-50 network integrated amplifier ($1,499) leading the pack. The Onkyo Icon A-50 (140 watts per channel) looks quite compelling as an all-in-one with its attractive styling. Both devices will stream Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Amazon Music, AirPlay 2 and Google Cast and are Roon Ready. The M-80 ($1,999), with its 150-watts-per-channel amplifier and analog meters, is designed to pair with the P-80. The hi-fi products are due in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Onkyo has had streaming amps in the past, but like many recent Onkyo products, they were a reskin of the equivalent Pioneer ones. These new devices are designed to reestablish an identity for the company and hearken back to its hi-fi components of the 1970s and ’80s in particular.
