The Muse Y-50 is a network streaming integrated amplifier from Onkyo, the Japanese electronics maker whose catalogue spans both budget and more serious tiers. It belongs to Onkyo's small family of integrated amplifiers with built-in streaming, and its main strength on paper is a substantial rated output.

Key specs that matter

Rated output is 2 x 125 W into 8 ohms, doubling to 2 x 250 W into 4 ohms. The rated bandwidth is 20 Hz to 30 kHz, and three single-ended analogue inputs are provided.

Engineering and use context

The chassis measures 350 x 99 x 337 mm and weighs 4.9 kg, a light weight given the power on offer. Network streaming is built in, so the amplifier itself acts as the main digital source.

Pairing

Its three analogue inputs take care of a few extra sources without external switching, which keeps a simple system free of extra boxes.

Alternatives

The Onkyo Muse Y-40 is the nearest integrated amplifier in the same range.
