Onkyo introduced two new types of audio products in the CES 2025as part of its reinvention of hi-fi, with powered speakers that can be paired with TVs and a series of streaming amplifiers.
The new devices that follow it Klipsch Flex collaborationinclude the Onkyo GX10DB and Onkyo GX30ARC powered monitors, plus the Icon P-80 network preamplifier, the M-80 power amplifier and the A-50 integrated network amplifier.
The Creator Onkyo GX10DB ($199) and Onkyo GX30ARC ($299) active speakers are designed to be used on a desktop while still offering enough inputs to be used as a stereo system or even as a soundbar replacement (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 watts of power, while the larger GX30ARC has 25x2W of power pushing a 4-inch woofer. Both models feature 3/4-inch woofers and wooden brackets that help direct the speakers to users' ears. Both sets of speakers are expected in the spring.

Meanwhile, Onkyo's new hi-fi products are fully available for streaming with the P-80 network preamplifier ($1,999) and the A-50 integrated network amplifier ($1,499) leading the pack. The Onkyo Icon A-50 (140 watts per channel) looks quite attractive 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-watt-per-channel amplifier and analog meters, is designed to pair with the P-80. The hi-fi products should be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Onkyo has had streaming amps in the past, but like many recent Onkyo products, they were a shell of the Pioneer equivalents. These new devices are designed to renew the company's identity and refer to its hi-fi components especially from the 1970s and 80s.
