Cheap as in less than $100.

Any decent brand will do. Pro-logic will do fine.

This is for a relative who is going to college and wants an HT system for his dorm room. He's going to film school and is consequently a movie buff.

Please, if you are going to give me some links to cheesy retail junk for less than $100 save your time, I can find crap myself. I'm looking to help the kid out with something decent. If you have an old HT receiver that you are looking to get rid of but don't want to just give away, I have a poor college kid who will give it a good home.

    I'll keep an eye out, but can you at least TRY to tone down the condecending tone when you're asking people for favors?

    I can sell you a Sony STR-D2090 for $100 shipped inthe US. I looked for the remote but couldn't find it. It may be somewhere. It has pro logic and connections for 5 speakers.

    Works fine.

    I have a HK HT receiver. I don't remember the model number. It was the lowest end AVR from HK, something like AVR-20. It is 40 or 45 wpc. I bought it for my parents, but they never used it. It has the remote and manual. $50 plus actual shipping from UPS. If you are interested, just let me know.

    Oh well, my loss I guess. I'll go cry myself to sleep now.


    Oh, my search has ended, thank you to those who offered, I appreciate your efforts.

    If someone here did, how's it feel to basically be given the finger as a thank you?

    i'm sure jstas meant well. god knows I know what it's like to be a poor college student- as do prob. most of us. I think it was just a poor choice of words that's all.

    And Loud & Clear- you ALMOST had me on that $1200 Denon. Hmmmmm......

    $95 you said? =)

    Wow, strong words.

    Wonder where I did such a thing?

    Just because I spelled out EXACTLY what I was looking for in the first post all the soggy bottoms came out of teh woodwork to rain on my parade.

    Truth is I am not incapable of operating a search engine and finding some pile of **** Sherwood or a sale somewhere and getting crap. Yet every time I post a WTB thread, that is exactly what I get. I didn't want my time wasted nor anyone elses so I made it clear that anyone who was going to treat me like an idiot and operate a search engine for me would understand that I did not want that route.

    Excuse me for looking to help out relative and a club member at the same time. I thought it would be a good opportunity for my relative to not only pick up a decent piece of gear but to get a club member a few extra bucks and maybe free up some room in thier stash.

    Sorry for offending everyone but maybe if my posts were read and responded to thoughtfully instead of with knee-jerk reactions, I might be more inclined to be less specific in my requests. All I did was ask for exactly what I was looking. If I wasn't nice then that's on me but what difference is it anyway? I already have the whole forum turned against me and I'm not really well liked because of an undeserved reputation so why don't I live up to it?


    Again, I have already found a suitable unit and have made arrangements with the member.(yes it was a Club Polk member but since the lynch party is out already, I'll decline to name names in thier interest) The offer was put forth to me shortly after I posted the thread and I did not have time to post a message stating that because I had a social engagement to attend. (Yes, even being the **** that I am, I do have friends) To all those who made thier generous offers without the commentary or snide remarks, again, I thank you for your considerations but I have found a suitable unit. I apologize if anyone is offended as brett seems to think but it was not my intent to "give the finger as a thank you". If anyone does feel that way then brett is the one you should have issue with because he was the one who even mentioned anything of the sort.

    So again, thank you to those who offered, I appreciate your kindness and generosity to help myself and my college bound cousin. I have found a suitable unit, arrangements have been made and for all intents and purposes, the sale is final. I know who made the offers, it was more than just the two in this thread, and I appreciate it.

    All is well,

    just choice of words was very blunt compared to what everyone is use to. Of course some like things sugar coated and some don't. It's all ok now...

    You know what, eff it.
    Just because I spelled out EXACTLY what I was looking for in the first post all the soggy bottoms came out of teh woodwork to rain on my parade.

    I'm not a soggy bottom, generally I stay out of your little pissing contests. However, I feel when asking for a FAVOR or HELP, I think it's poor form to dictate the conditions. If you are given advice for free that you don't want, just friggin' IGNORE IT. However, you seem to be unwilling or unable to do that.
    Truth is I am not incapable of operating a search engine and finding some pile of **** Sherwood or a sale somewhere and getting crap

    Operate a computer all on your own. Good for you. Try and learn some manners next. Basically what you are saying is that you are only interested in getting hooked up for next to nothing. Again, see comments above.
    Yet every time I post a WTB thread, that is exactly what I get. I didn't want my time wasted nor anyone elses so I made it clear that anyone who was going to treat me like an idiot and operate a search engine for me would understand that I did not want that route.

    Hmmmm....how long does it take for me to scan a thread and skip over posts that disinterest me. I'll bet a few seconds, tops. Sorry, I guess that we didn't realize that your time was so precious and valuable. Nobody is treating you like an idiot, people were probably very genuinely trying to (what they thought anyway) help you out and you piss on them. That's bad manners.

    Oh, and help out a club member? How do you figger that one, Einstein? Do you think that if a member were to say, have a piece of gear that he was dying to get rid of that he wouldn't have already put it on the FM? How do you figure you are doing THAT guy a favor? Assuming that everyone is dire need of a hundred bucks? Had you not been such an **** from jumpstreet, I have a unit that I would have donated for FREE including shipping.

    I apologize for the rant and for the past year or so, I've done my best to stay out of these types of pissing contests and even tried to bury the hatchet with our hero here, however, I can't abide some little twit with a condescending attitude who feels that it's perfectly OK to piss on people who are trying to be genuinely helpful.

    Sorry brett, you're off base.

    If I'm so not worth it then why do you bother with me? Don't you people have anything better to do with your time? Or do you take some sadistic joy in trying to "help" the mean Internet man?

    No, John, it's not worth it to ME.

    But, ok, what would it take to get ME off your back? A genuine act of contrition. Where you actually thought to yourself, you know what? Maybe I was a little rude and I'm sorry about that and I apologize. However, you are completely incapable of that.

    No, in your paranoia based world where you are always the innocent victim, anything I/we say just feeds into your neurotic little delusion. In your world, you really do believe that everyone else is the problem, not you. However, in the real world, if 95 people out of 100 think you are an ****, well, that's why they passed the law of probability.

    You need help, man. For that, I feel bad for you. I'm not saying any of this because I get my jollies busting your hump. I'm saying this because I really think you have a problem.

    Which truly is a shame, because you have a huge (huge) wealth of knowledge in you, and you think very logically.
