Looking for a cheap stereo reciever or amp

[SithSolo1]

I have a pair of these that I want to use in my bedroom for casual listening while in my bed, that's it. The only thing that will be connected to it is the computer.

I have no qualms buying used/old hardware but when it comes to older stuff, say pre-2000, then I have no clue what brands/models I should be looking for.

Trying to keep it under $100, ideally under $50.

Any recommendations?

59.99 for a good cheap amp, speakers that come with are shit, but its cheaper to buy the combo than the amp alone

It looks like Circuit City is going to close some 150 stores soon, so I would wait for this.

And with mods, you can improve the sound of the amp, which is great considering that the amp is already good bang for the buck.

I remember when a T-amp was $30.

You won't get much juice out of one of those - maybe 5 watts per channel before you start running into clipping.

I'd try and find something used, preferably one of the higher-spec Yamahas, a Marantz, or a Rotel if you can get one.

I've got a 4ch Yamaha power amp you might be interested in, too....

i would just look on craigslist for a used stereo receiver, you can probably find something for 50 bucks or less

I have a kenwood basic 5.1 receiver I could sell you if you wanted something used. I have a sonic impact t-amp on my desktop speakers and recommend it too.
