Repairing an ONKYO Speaker

ONKYO is a long-standing, iconic Japanese audio brand founded in 1946. Since its inception, the company has led the Japanese audio industry with its high level of technical expertise, developing the diaphragms (cones)—the heart of a speaker—in-house from raw materials. In the 1970s and 80s, the large "D-77" series became a massive hit, establishing the clear, distortion-free "ONKYO Sound." In the 2000s, the high-fidelity powered "GX series" for PCs became a staple of desktop audio. Since 2022, the brand's traditional approach to sound engineering has been carried on through a joint venture between Sharp and the U.S.-based PAC Corporation. Its sound is characterized by "delicate, transparent highs and faithfulness to the original audio," with a gentle, beautiful resonance that remains beloved today for being non-fatiguing even during long listening sessions.
