Onkyo is one of the big names in home theater audio and just released some small-sized speakers for gamers and music fans at CES 2025, but while the new Onkyo Creator Series speakers may come in relatively small sizes, their There is nothing small about power. .
The Creator series is powered by highly efficient Class D amplifiers and the speakers promise to deliver audio far beyond their small size. That makes them ideal not only for gaming and general PC audio, but also for your turntable and other audio sources and, in the case of the larger HDMI-equipped model, your TV as well.
There are two models in the range: the Onkyo GX10DB and the Onkyo GX30ARC. Both will be available in the second quarter of 2025.
