WTB: HT reciever

[PepsiFiend69 10+ year member]

looking for an "entry level" sort of home theatre reciever. im not really sure what to look for in one, so any help would be awesome.

just looking to upgrade from the 12 year old Onkyo that blew a channel haha.

looking to spend $100-200 MAX. not looking to spend any more, just something to get me started on a small system.

Do you need 5 channels, or are you just using it for stereo?

And do you need a receiver, or will just an integrated amp suffice...

A "receiver" is the general name for something with an AM/FM broadcast tuner and an amplifier.

An integrated amp is just a preamp/power amp in one box.

I have a NAD 3020 integrated that I'd sell for $200, has the inputs you need, and is a bit of a cult favorite in hi-fi circles...

I can get pictures of it tonight.

if hes not interested in that, i may be able to take that off of your hands. does it have EQ adjustments and that kinda stuff?

It has tone controls...bass/treble, balance...no subwoofer preout, but if you're running a plate amp that's not critical anyway.

I have a high end Sony DA50ES ht received. Was $1200 new back in the day. Very nice unit before sony turned to garbage. Back when the ES line was top notch.

Here is a photo/info on it that I found on google. Have seen them on a search going in the $350 range. Will sell it for $350 shipped.... Comed with the touch screen remote.

Is a killer unit. And no hurry, it has been sitting on the shelf for about a year. When I changed out to a different unit it was just used to power bookshelf speakers in my office. I turned it on about 5 minutes ago and have it playing as I have not used it in forever. Still perfect!

SOrry for the small price increase of $350, just realised how much it would cost to ship! It is a heavy mofo!
