I know this is like inviting flames, but what are the best receiver(s) in
the below $150 price zone?

A bit of search in froogle found these 2 receivers, both 100W/channel:

Yamaha HTR-5730 5.1 Channel Receiver with 515W: $128.99

Pioneer VSX-D514K $148.99

Not sure if the above model is still current. The Pioneer VSX-515-K
is about the same price:

Download the manuals from the manufacturer's websites and compare features,
inputs, etc.

It is likely that the next models on the line have significant advantages
(more inputs).
