New Sherwood receiver info

[Hyfi]

But, let's be serious, shall we? You'll get rid of this before the season changes anyway. In ths past month you'v egone throufh a Sony AVR and a Kenwood. What makes you think this will be any different?

LOL, you beat me to this one. I thought about it but by morning you already nailed it.

Actually, that would be a mistake.

For what it is, it's a decent receiver for a non-sophisticated user who wants simplicity and decent sound. I've got three friends using these (well, the 4105, same thing less phono stage), one for more years than I can remember driving a pair of Advent Jade Towers. Another uses little Polk bookshelves and their ratty PSW-10 sub. Got that Sherwood/Polk system for $280, including tax. The third is using old Fisher boxes from an 80's rack system. Considering the speakers and their intended uses, the music doesn't drive us screaming from the house, even at decent levels, particularly those Advents.

All in all, a decent performer, particularly considering the going price is under $90, NIB, with a two year manufacturers warranty.

If Spanky has any brains at all (debatable), he'll save his money, get decent speakers, and lie low for a while. He could be in a good place if he uses his head here.
