Versatile Connectivity
The GX-30ARC features digital, analog, and wireless audio inputs to enjoy all of your sound sources. HDMI ARC, USB-C, and Optical inputs provide signal processing for your digital sources like computers and televisions.

Onkyo GX-30ARC Reviews

Perfect for their purpose

By Tom

I wanted a pair of true desktop speakers for my Mac-mini and Studio Display set-up that would fit my relatively small desktop while not paying too high a penalty for their compactness. These Onkyo GX-30ARCs do that job and were on a great sale. Of course they don't go "movie theater" low but I'm in an apartment and if I really want to disturb my neighbors they are "subwoofer ready." One note for Apple users: you need to use the optical output with appropriate adapters since the speakers are not Apple "native". This was a minor cost, with no hook-up issues at all. Mid-range and treble are articulate with true "analog" feel for the natural reproduction of voice and instruments. Given the specific requirements of my set-up the GX-30ARCs do everything I wanted at a great price.

Good but odd default setting design.

Good but needs some more options. The default setting is a "saddle" curve with highs and lows boosted. If you want the flat setting you need to set this every time you power cycle. Why doesn't it remember the setting? It does remember the input setting when you power off by cutting power but not flat setting. Also an "enhanced" setting should not be default, standard more accurate should be default and any enhancement should be the optional setting. You can't leave plugged in without it powering off after 15 minutes which makes it a hassle to use as a PC speaker as sound is intermittent depending on what you are doing so it keeps turning off, has no auto wake on sound with 3.5 mm jack input (didn't try with USB as no more ports available). You can disable auto power off, but then it will stay on all of the time. You can power off by cutting power but then you lose the flat setting and have to keep enabling every time, kind of annoying. Catch 22.
