M-80
The Onkyo M-80 Power Amplifier delivers powerful, high-resolution sound through a retro-inspired design. Built for audiophiles, it combines cutting-edge circuitry with classic styling to elevate your listening experience.

Timeless Design with a Modern Edge

The M-80’s design pays homage to Onkyo’s 1940s origins, featuring retro VU meters housed in a sleek aluminium and steel three-piece chassis. This construction enhances rigidity and seismic resistance, suppressing vibrations to improve sound clarity. Every detail is crafted for both aesthetic appeal and acoustic performance.

Engineered for Pure, Powerful Sound

At its core, the M-80 uses a three-stage Inverted Darlington Amplifier with low output impedance, delivering high current to drive speakers with authority. By minimising Negative Feedback (NFB), it avoids speaker-induced noise, resulting in a sound that is both powerful and highly detailed. Parallel output transistors and DIDRC technology further refine the audio, approaching the warmth and comfort of analogue playback.

Built to Complement Your System

With 150W (8Ω) / 200W (4Ω) output power, the M-80 is capable of driving large floor-standing speakers and unlocking their full potential. Whether paired with the Klipsch Forte or Heritage series, it ensures dynamic, extended sound reproduction. Its clean signal transmission and separation from preamp circuitry offer audiophiles the flexibility and fidelity they demand.

The Power Behind the Emotion

The M-80 is more than just an amplifier - it’s the muscle behind your audio system. By separating pre and power amplification, it delivers cleaner signals and greater control. Designed for discerning listeners, it reproduces the full emotional range of music, staying true to the artist’s intent and immersing you in every performance.

  • Comprehensive connectivity with two balanced XLR inputs to accommodate high-quality sources like DACs and phono stages
  • Showcases a refreshed, elegant design with a VU meter display for a touch of classic Hi-Fi sophistication
  • Premium build quality
  • Class AB amplifier design
