Too bad, they did a decent job.

I remember my friend's older brother had an Onkyo rack system- I was jealous at the time...

 

[Gepetto]

Like old rock music was the greatest (Led Zep, Stones, etc.), old stereo equipment is also the greatest. Can't be middle of the road and make it...

Typical modern reporting, used a picture of a bunch of different speakers, none appear to be Onkyo.

Cool. "I want to create a sound that is unique to Jico," Nakagawa said.

Just like if you had a painting from an artist who had recently passed away, the value of your vintage Onkyo components just doubled.

I’m a bad person.

When I first saw it, and again just now, I read “Yoko” not “Onkyo”…

oh well.

My HT is run with an Onkyo Integra DTR 7.4.
Only thing 'wrong' with it is that it's pre-HDMI.
Still a great and very versatile amp.
So many ins and outs and has enough 'kick' for the job.

My current home cinema system incorporates an Integra DRX-4 7.2 channel THX certified A/V receiver. A local A/V installer, who installs systems for customers owning multi-million $ homes, recommended the Integra DRX line of A/V receivers. He also helped me choose the A/V speaker components based on his experience.

Any way ,if I have understood well , the trade mark will survive .
Sharp and Voxx should have the control . Is it correct ?

Yes, the trade mark may well survive, but I don't expect it will be placed on gear as we remember the brand.

They were the same devices .

On the subject of Jico, the wood cantilever stylii look interesting. Looks like you can get one of their Shure M44 clones, a wood cantilevered stylus with a nude conical tip that tracks at 3 grams.....should be right at home in a Gray 108 clone......
