Before hi-fi amps had a digital display slapped on them, they were a more manly VU meter affair. As the Straits' Brothers in Arms took you to MOR heaven, you'd slip off your Adidas Gazelles and watch those volume indicators twitch to every silky guitar solo. Luckily, Onkyo pines for such joys; and while this 80W Class A/B power amp has the requisite needle-based intrigue, it's also loaded with 21st-century tech to tame the most picky audiophile.
