Recommendation for REALLY inexpensive receiver


Hi, I need something to get started with, but am on an extremely limited budget. If you had to find a surround sound processor, and keep the price under $500, what would you recommend? I noticed a Denon AVR-2802 sold used in Audiogon's classifieds for $260- including shipping, which seems like a heck of a deal. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, all, so far, for your responses. I am heavily leaning toward the Outlaw--I read 100+ reviews at audio review. Would any of you take a Denon AVR-3300 (assuming in near-perfect condition) for $450- including shipping over the Outlaw?
BTW, I didn't get the Class A, B, C, D stuff from Ezmerelda--is it relevant to what I'm looking at?
Jarujammer:

I am with the others here as well. I would go with the Outlaw as my first choice, and then if that doesn't quite do it for you, then I would look at an Onkyo SR600 (if that's the right model number of their current $600.00 audio/video receiver).

Good Luck.......

The Class A/B/C/D amplifier design discussion is not one to get too worked up about, when considering an HT receiver. Essentially the designation refers to how the amplifier is "designed and works." What intrigued me about digital amplifiers is that they utilize digital crossovers ... ergo, they should be quieter. Plus they run much cooler ... which should lead to an amplifier that should last longer. This year, for example, Harman Kardon's TOTL HT receiver is a digital amp design. Good luck with whatever you decide. Regards, Rich.
