Onkyo via eBay has Onkyo TX-SR393 5.2-Channel A/V Receiver (Refurbished) for $239. Shipping is free.
Thanks to Community Member 1ataylor for finding this deal.
Condition:
Certified - Refurbished: The item is in pristine, like-new condition. It has been professionally inspected, cleaned, and refurbished by the manufacturer or a manufacturer-approved vendor to meet manufacturer specifications. The item will be in new packaging with original or new accessories.
No reason to buy this when TX-NR6050 can be had for $250 open-box on eBay. I got mine for $210(had a few small scratches on it) last week. Best bang for your buck out there. Supports 7.2 or 5.1.2.
Try shopgoodwill.com. Plenty of 5.1 receivers for less than $50 shipped. If you get one with an optical input, you can pipe audio from TV's optical output. I've paid an average of $30 shipped when I've purchased circa 00's built models. They'll probably last another 20 years and they used to be built solid with none of those HDMI quirks you sometimes get with modern receivers.
3.1.2
No side surrounds. For small rooms its doable if the speakers are positioned perfectly but given the fact a lot of sources are 5.1 only (making atmos useless) i wouldnt do atmos unless it is at least 5.1.2.

It's 80 watts per channel in stereo. I'm guessing you are getting the 155 watts number for a single channel driven at maximum distortion. This thing is a piece of junk. You know it's bad if your modern receiver doesn't even have binding posts for its 5 channels. This thing would be terrible even if Onkyo was reliable.

Any recommendations for running just 2.0/2.1? Smaller/Less expensive the better - It'll be for a secondary setup with couple of bookshelves.

Are you counting zone channels as well?
Tehcnically the 6050 can only do 5.1.2 as the speaker config doesnt support rear surrounds if you enable atmos.

Looks like the nr6050 is $330 and up for listings that aren't "parts only" this week on ebay
