Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $98.00 from Fry's Electronic

Summary:
This review is for the model RD-6108. for just under $100, nothing can beat this receiver. Overall, this receiver can outplay any under $300 Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, JVC. I was looking a cheaf affordable receiver for my second sytem lately untill I found this very good deal at Fry's Electronic. Before that, I bought 3 different receivers from Sony, Pioneer and Kenwood for about $260 each, and end up returned them all. All of those I returned stated 100 watts a chanels, it's all wrong. Those are tons of distotion wattages. The Sherwood have only 80 watts per chanels all clean power. I can crank the volume all the way up to max and hear no distortion at all from speakers. althougt the look and the boult quality are not that good(for under $100, you can ask for more). I give this receiver 5 stars for any under $200 receivers.

Strengths:
very clean amp(that's all I need). Very affordable price. You can make an unbeatable hometheater system under $300 with this receiver. One of the very respected feature of this receiver is derect amp mode( I love this mode for musuc), not many receiver now have this feature.

Weaknesses:
cheap built quality, cheap remote, little hassle in setup and play. But after all, if everything is set, you're fine. The remote is not full funtioned.

Similar Products Used:
Yamaha 5550, Denon avr 95, onkyo 656.
