I was shopping around for a cheap 5.1 receiver last month, and I honestly couldn't find anything THAT cheap. Best I could find was the Sony DG510 for $150. Ended up buying the DG710 for $200 shipped on Amazon though.

If that's out of your price range, you might be best off getting one of those Logitech 5.1 speaker set ups. I don't think $100 could even buy a 2.0 stereo receiver.

Hm... Onkyo usually has a 5.1 refurb receiver for $100 but it looks like they're currently sold out.

I'd keep checking Onkyo's online store. They have good deals there time to time.

Yeah, I forgot about shoponkyo.com. I tried getting something from there before I bought my Sony but the ones I wanted were always sold out. That might be your best bet though if you don't mind buying a refurb.

I really dig the DG710 though. Not the greatest receiver but it has the best features for any $200 receiver I saw. Does 6.1 sound and even HDMI with audio (x2) which is rare for receivers in this price range.

I'm looking at maybe buying one of these to install in the weight room at the school where I teach. I also work at BB and we've had really good luck with most of the Insignia audio stuff.
