Cons: HORRIBLE SOUND QUALITY, POTENTIALLY LETHAL FOR SPEAKERS
The Bottom Line: If you're looking in this price range you should consider a minisystem. Trust me you'll have better sound quality for about the same price, just don't buy this!
armandhammer8's Full Review: Sherwood RX-4103 2 Channels Receiver
Overall the reciever is very user friendly, possibly one of it's few good qualities. The manual proved to be relatively unnecessary. I could easily attach all my components without drama and a mess of wires. Programing stations and adjusting tone was equally simple. Unfortunetely , it's operation occurs so simply due to the limited capabilities of the reciever. No phono input or equalizer connections. Lack of interesting sound enhancing features (noise reduction, simulated surround). In essence this reciever behaves (and sounds) like repackaged minisystem amp.
I bought this on sale for $80, an impulse. The reciever sounded good at the store so I figured it was a steal.
I was wrong. I attached it to my pair of higher end ($500 each) speakers and am really disapointed. The sound produced was shallow and transperent (No low end). With the bass at max nothing had changed, still shallow. In addition to being shallow there was a muddy quality to the sound, as if being affected by non-exhistant bass. My sharp minisystem ($100) sounded better, much better. Honestly, user friendlyness cannot comphensate for bad sound quality.
The cons out weigh the pros so I would NEVER recommend this to anyone. Save up and by a sony or teac, maybe ever a cheap onkyo. Trust me you'll be glad you did, plus you'll insure your speakers don't get fried as I understand is a common problem with this sherwood.
