I was looking at Pioneer 700W 7.1-Ch 815-k list 299.99 at bestbuy I'v heard this is a great receiver. what u guy's think will that be a good starter point?
if u have any more receiver ideas for my low budget, i would be happy. budget is 300 bucks.

That Pio is good but there are better choices at that level.
Check the yamaha htr 5840.

Possibly the Yamaha 5860 or the Harman Kardon AVR 140. Lots of quality for $300.

Still rates as the best Cost Control receiver in Sound & Vision Magazine.

Best Cost Control receiver? I get S/V. They do absolutely no reviews of entry level receivers. I think that was the first in ... forever. Of course they're going to throw Pio a bone. Look closer at the specs on that thing. It's rated at 1% thd in surround, and .7% thd in stereo. I'd recommend spending a little more and get some entry level quality.

If $225 is all you've got, I'd recommend something like this:
