Home Theater Forum - View Single Post - Best Value Performance Receiver Under 300?

Matthew Will · 05-05-2003, 02:47 AM

Hello all,
I'm looking to upgrade my home theater this summer and was just wondering what you would suggest for a good value performance receiver. I would prefer the price be under 300 and closer to 200 if it is possible. This is a basic system and 5.1 will be more than enough. Power isn't the most crucial thing to me since to get noticeably louder then an 80 watt system would be to get a 160 watt system. I'm mainly just looking for ease of use, quality features, sound modes, DTS, Dolby, etc. I was just making a quick search on ebay and found this:

If the link doesnt show it is a PANASONIC SA-HE100K selling refurbished for $190. Looks like it has plenty of features and sound modes.

But yes, just throw out some receivers for me to research and possibly purchase. Any brands to stay away from? Thanks. Matt
