Budget recievers
Well, I am glad we can help out somebody who, like me, does not have the resourses to buy a medium price (or higher) reciever.
I am quite happy with my Pioneer VSX - 516 7.1 A/V reciever, which is also reviewed by Alcoholics with a performance rating of 4, and it cost me only US$185.00.
This is an excelent budget reciever recomended to anybody with a small listening room and a set of good speakers.

I completely agree with MDS and thank him for his post. Instead of bashing the budget, let's try to help this person out (like Mike did with his link to H/K gear). It's cool to give the information that $100 isn't going to buy the state-of-the-art, but honestly I think that most people realize that.
I agree with bandphan that looking for a used unit would be a good approach. As MDS said, receivers lose value fairly quickly because of new features being introduced, so you might be able to get more for your money that way. Personally, I'd only buy used from someone that I knew and trusted, but that's just my preference and risk-averse nature.
belkincp, are there any features in particular that you want, or perhaps ones that you know that you don't want?
