Stereo Receivers

ok, im sittin here, wishing i could have the money some of you guys on here have, but i dont. so im looking for a nice used Stereo Receiver. NAD/ or the like thats an older type of receiver but not that expensive. under $100. used preferably. will be currently put up with my Vifa 6.5's (not the pl's though) and NorthCreek Music D-25 tweeters in a custom .75 cu. ft ported box. i need new x-overs for them, but thats cuz they were originally designed for in car use.


This receiver will hopefully last me 2+ years until i get out of college and have money for a true surround receiver, but in that process i will probably upgrade speakers, right now im looking at some new designs from Adire Audio utilizing i believe their new Extremis mids and a custom x-over design and box design, but i digress.


so what would you recommend for a nice stereo receiver.


FYI: STEREO AKA TWO CHANNELS.

Check out this Sherwood stereo receiver (RX4103) for $89 at CircuitCity.com


• 105 watts per channel • Three audio inputs


Looks like it does not have a phono input and uses the cheaper spring clip speak connectors.


I haven't heard it myself, so buyer beware. It does meet your stated needs (Stereo & less than $100)

one of the things i have always heard when looking at stereo receivers however is that the older stereo receivers are of better quality and have nicer options etc. this is why i am loking for usaed reccomendations and some of the older equipment is able to be found fairly inexpensive now.


thanks
