Tiger Direct has the Audio Source AMP-110 2-Channel Bridgeable Stereo Power Amplifier for $196 with free shipping. Features 75 Watts @ 8 Ohms and 75 Watts @ 4 Ohms stereo / 225 Watts @ 8 Ohms bridged to one channel.
Good catch frankburnz. You are right, typically Watts should double (or something a bit less probably in this case) when halving the ohms. Of course for almost 200 dollars why not just buy a basic receiver made by a reputable brand and get all the other features (a preamp, radio, perhaps even HDMI switching) as well?
This would be great as either a sub amp in bridged mode, or as a second zone amp if your receiver doesn't have one built in. AudioSource is not a crap brand, although it is on the low end.
Wow, disobeys ohms law... laws of physics don't exist here?

Wattage won't double if the amp is current rather than voltage limited.
However it is actually rated as 110 Watts x 2 Channels (@ 4 Ohms), (75W x 2 @ 8 Ohms / 225W x 1 bridged @ 8 Ohms)
