The A-9110 is an integrated amplifier by Onkyo that delivers 30 watts x 2 channels into 8 ohms. It was released in 2018. It is a 2-channel design using a Class A/B output stage. A minimum impedance of 4 ohms makes it compatible with a wide range of loudspeakers. It also has a phono input, so a turntable can connect straight to it. The Onkyo A-9110 has an MSRP of $349.
There are 4 Onkyo amplifiers in our database. Below you can see the main specs of these amps.
Onkyo Integrated Amplifier Series
Performance Specs
One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements. The Onkyo A-9110 is rated at 30 watts RMS into 8-ohms.
Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:
- 30 watts into 8-ohms (10 Hz-100 kHz)
- 4-ohms Min Impedance (allows compatibility with a wide range of loudspeakers)
- 103dB Signal to Noise Ratio

We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current
delivery.
Need more power?
Onkyo A-9110 is rated at 30 watts into 8 ohms, which puts it in our Up to 60 watts band. The next band up is 61 to 90 watts, which is worth about 3.9dB more output. That is a real difference in headroom on peaks, and a modest one in how loud the system plays - power and loudness are not the same thing.
Before buying watts, check what your speakers actually need: the amp and speaker matcher works it out from their sensitivity, impedance and your room.
When pairing the Onkyo A-9110 with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels.
Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.
Inputs and Outputs
Besides the performance specs of the Onkyo A-9110, the next important feature set that you have to evaluate is the input and output selections that it offers.

Bluetooth Connectivity
Onkyo A-9110 doesn't have bluetooth connectivity feature. In order to stream your music via bluetooth, the easiest way is to connect an external bluetooth receiver to your Onkyo A-9110. Two bluetooth receivers that we recommend are the
iFi Zen Blue V2 and the
Audioengine B1.
Among the amps in the same price range, these are the 5 amps that have Bluetooth Connectivity:
Phono Input
Onkyo A-9110 features two Phono Inputs which are compatible with
MM (Moving Magnet) type of phono cartridges, you can connect your turntable with MM cartridges directly to this amp without the need for a phono preamp. If you are using an MC cartridge on your turntable, you need to use a phono preamp that has MC phono stage such as the
Cambridge Duo or the
iFi ZEN Phono.
Subwoofer Output
Onkyo A-9110 has a dedicated subwoofer output which can be used to connect it directly to a powered subwoofer via an LFE(Low Frequency Effects) cable.

Powered Subwoofers page to find a subwoofer that will work with Onkyo A-9110 amp and your speakers.
Onkyo A-9110 Pros and Cons
Drawn from the published figures on this page, not from listening.
- ✓30 watts per channel into 8 ohms.
- ✓Signal-to-noise ratio of 103dB, so the amplifier itself should be inaudible between tracks.
- ✓Phono stage built in (MM), so a turntable needs no separate preamplifier.
- ✓Has tone controls.
- ✗Analogue inputs only - a TV, computer or CD transport needs an external DAC.
- ✗The phono stage is moving-magnet only; a moving-coil cartridge would need a step-up or an external stage.
- ✗No Bluetooth and no network streaming - everything arrives over a cable.
