I have a friend of a friend looking for a low cost budget receiver and he came across 2 'deals' such as they are, at a local shop. He is being swayed by the larger wattage numbers (as so many newbie buyers are) but decided to ask for some advice before buying (always a good thing).
I am more familiar with the slightly more expensive units from most companies and it seems there are about 4 times as many low budget units so i could use some input from those with some experience in this area.
Feel free to add any options to this list. State the receiver, vendor (no ebay sales please) and price (Cdn) if you could.
