Review NaN of , from Berkeley, CA

Summary:
I got this receiver from my dad who actually upgraded bigtime to the Denon 5700 receiver which costs well upwards of $2k. I had been looking into getting a component system for a while, to upgrade my old Aiwa mini-system, and did lots of research in stores and online at this site before my dad gave me this receiver to start my system with.

It runs my Polk RT35 speakers cleanly, and has plenty of inputs for any of my future home theater needs once I find a job and enough money to afford better stuff.

100W per channel, pre-amp outputs, binding posts everywhere, and composite video in/out for a receiver that I see running for less than $300 everywhere, I think that Sherwood is an underrated brand that maybe can provide an economical alternative solution for someone looking for a quality receiver at a good price.

Strengths:
Price/performance ratio, plenty of power, inputs, and features

Weaknesses:
No DTS (that's what the 8090 model is for), although if your DVD player has DTS decoding, the 7090 is "DTS-ready"

Similar Products Used:
Onkyo TX-DS474, Technics, Yamaha

Review NaN of , from Tasmania Australia

Summary:
Well this is my second receiver in 3months and it seems to be a lot clearer giving a better sound with more power
than my first receiver with was a sony STR-DE335 (a prologic one) i have yet to try dolby digital (since i lack a dvd) but all the music on it sounds fantastic

the speakers i have are:

B&W 602 Series 2 (front)
B&W CC6 (center)
Solid S100 (a b&w sub brand)
B&W ASW500 (Sub Woofer)

I have yet to find a weakness in this product but it is
likely that i will eventually.
(only baught it today..)
