ONKYO Icon Series Amplifier (2025)

 

Onkyo has unveiled at CES 2025 in Las Vegas an all-new amplifier series, the Icon Series. The Ikon Series consists of the P-80 network pre-amplifer, M-80 power amplifier, and A-50 integrated amplifier. The amplifier includes the likes of Onkyo’s own Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry (DIDRC), which aims to “improve the sound of analogue recordings and stabilises audio signals with positive and negative signal symmetry to reproduce minute signals such as those of MC cartridges, even when amplified.” The series also features the Dirac Live Room Correction circuit. This enables users to optimise audio performance for their listening space while additional highlights include high-performance 32-bit/768kHz AK4452 DACs in the P-80 and A-50 models. The Onkyo Icon P-80 Network Preamplifier features a dedicated phono stage (for MM and MC cartridges), HDMI ARC, and wireless connectivity like AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Bluetooth. Spotify, TIDAL, and Amazon Music, and is Roon Ready are also included in a premium housing featuring aluminium front panel. The Icon M-80 Power Amplifier has a power rating of 200W at 4 ohms and 150W at 8 ohms and its a symmetrical Class AB design. The Onkyo Icon A-50 Integrated Amplifier has a power output of 180W at 4 ohms and 140W at 8 ohms. It also features HDMI ARC, Dirac Live Room Correction, and a built-in phono stage. The Onkyo Icon Series will be available later in 2025. The P-80 Network Preamplifier and M-80 Power Amplifier are priced at $1,999 each, while the A-50 Integrated Amplifier is priced at $1,499.
