I'm looking for a cheap 2ch receiver to drive my r15's at work. Does not need to be high-powered, just needs to work. Let me know if anyone has anything hiding in their closets (related to this ad).
Ludicrous gibs!

    Wow, I wish I was close enough to him. He's got a nice $30 kenwood receiver, but it'd cost $22 to ship to me! I'm 4 hours away from Pittsburgh.

    I was looking for the same some time back for a work rig. A NEW Sherwood receiver (RX-4105) ran me $75 bucks, shipped! (JR's) You might go that route?

    bluecomet - I'm in Berwick, PA. 55miles/1hour away from you. We could probably work something out for pickup/delivery/meet along the highway.

    I'm gonna check out my old Pioneer SX-450 and see if it still works when I get home.

    I watch the Office every week. I love when they talk about restaurants and other landmarks. It is a very funny show. In the local mall they have the office store where you can buy everything from tee shirts to bobble head dolls, pretty cool.

    Nadams let me know about the receiver. I will check the model number for you. I would be looking to get thirty bucks for it. I am the original owner. Thanks.

    Bluecomet- check the model and I'll see if I want to go that route. I'd be happy to drive up just to get my ears on some of your wonderful toys :o

    I hooked the SX-450 up to the RTiA1's and it does just fine with them. I actually think I'm going to use that at home instead of taking it into work. It's a nice setup for the bedroom/biking area :)

    The model is the Kenwood KR-910. I believe it has 30 watts of power at 8ohms but 100 watts of power at 4ohms. It has a nice tuner in it. Let me know. Your welcome to drop by and see my other toys.
