Looking for new receiver around a $100 bucks

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
This receiver is not for me, its going to be a Christmas gift for my brother who is not by any means an audiophile. He bought a house that already has in ceiling surround speakers and he needs a receiver. What online stores have new surround receivers for around $100 or less. I saw circuit city has a sherwood surround reciever for $130, but I imagine on line I can get even better deal. The only feature it requires is a remote, tuner, basic audio/video connections (non-HD tv, cable and dvd) and 5.1 Digital surround. Good sound is definetly a plus, but he probably could not tell a difference between a $100 and $1000 receiver anyways. Thanks

What about refurbished with warranty from the manufacturer? There are good sounding NEW for about $150. I'll keep looking and see what I can find for you.

Actually I doubt if you can get a better deal than the Sherwood, which is a respected audio company, not one of those Chinese OEM factories that turns out garbage to be sold as house brands or HTIBs. You can get a refurbished and fully warranted (2 years) H/K AVR-144 at harmanaudio.com (specials) for $167 plus shipping (msrp $399) and that would be my preference given your budget.
