Inexpensive receiver?

I am looking for a very, very, very inexpensive receiver. What I want is something that will allow a minimum of two external speakers, and a connection for blue tooth audio adapter. As you have most likely figured out I am not looking for optimal sound, but want something that I can play music via a mobile phone or tablet.

Does anyone either have a setup like that or can suggest an inexpensive option?

Are you just wanting to get Bluetooth audio amplified to a pair of speakers? Don't buy a receiver, get a small integrated amp, some of which have Bluetooth built in. Here are a few I found pretty quickly on Amazon:

100W or 50W

Stereo amp with BT dongle:

Different looking amp with BT:

I assume you already own the speakers. If not, forego the receiver idea and just get amplified speakers and a simple Bluetooth dongle. AND, if you decide to get a Bluetooth dongle, don't buy one until you talk to me because I have some very good ones I am no longer using of which I can send you one.
 
If you want something cheap, you might want to try www.ac4l.com. I've bought a bunch of refurbished receivers from them over the years ranging from entry-level Onkyo stuff to the Marantz SR-6010 in my main system.
 
That little tuba amp from monoprice has Bluetooth if my memory serves me correctly.

25 Watt Stereo Hybrid Tube Amplifier with Bluetooth (Refurbished)
 
Well shit that was supposed to link. Anywho refurb for 79 bucks.

I thought you were going to say "well shit, that wasn't supposed to be a TUBA amp".

I would have, had I seen it before just now. LOL

And, the Tuba is an underappreciated instrument and therefore deserves to be amplified.
