Hey people, I'm one of the new guys here, so I'll start off by explaining my situation. I recently started getting more into speaker systems, ect, and just had a few noobie questions.

I just recently got some decent size Sony speakers, and now need to get my hands on a reciever/amplifier. Here are some of the stats for the speakers that I have.

Rated Impedance - 8 ohms
Maximum Input Power - 180 watts
Sensetivity Level - 89 dB (1 W, 1m)
Frequency Range - 40 Hz - 50,000 Hz

There's just a few stats from the manual. I didn't know what all you needed, so let me know if you need some other kind of info as well.

So my main question is, I'm looking for a reciever/amplifier that'll power these things fairly nicely. And would it be possible to stay in the $150 or below range? If not, then maybe some $200 models?

Thanks in advance for your patience with my noobish-ness, haha. Looking forward to learning more about sound equipment, ect.
