The Creator Series is powered by highly efficient Class D amplifiers and the speakers promise to deliver audio that punches way above their small size. That makes them ideal not just for gaming and general PC audio but for your turntable and other audio sources – and in the case of the larger, HDMI-equipped model, for your TV too.

For CES 2025, Onkyo is showing its own powered speaker option, the Creator Series, which features two models, the GX10DB and GX30ARC, both of which come as a paired set. Just as with most powered speaker pairs, one speaker provides Bluetooth and physical source connectivity and sends audio signals to the second speaker via an interconnect cable.

Onkyo has had streaming amps in the past, but like many recent Onkyo products, they were a reskin of the equivalent Pioneer ones. These new devices are designed to reestablish an identity for the company and hearken back to its hi-fi components of the 1970s and '80s in particular.

Besides a brand new Icon Series of hi-fi separates, Onkyo has taken the opportunity at CES 2025 to launch a budget range of desktop powered speakers, for those who want convenience and don’t want to spend a fortune to get their audio fix.

Onkyo is introducing its new Creator Series powered speakers which are intended for music enthusiasts, digital content creators, musicians, and gamers who also need high-fidelity sound in work-from-home settings.
