Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sherwood RX-4100 is designed and built in-house with the same quality and attention to detail that the company has been bringing to its audio gear for the past 50 years. The integrated amplifier offers 105 watts RMS per channel x 2 for strong, clear sound across the audible spectrum--even at low listening levels. The receiver also offers a handy 25-key remote control and switching for two pair of loudspeakers. Audio inputs switch between and amplify up to four additional components, including two requiring both inputs and outputs (such as a cassette deck and a VCR). The built-in AM/FM tuner features 30 station presets.

The RX-4100 uses totally discrete amplifiers for all channels (TDAS) for high power and low distortion. Use the receiver's A and B speaker outputs to power two different rooms, or to biwire a pair of speakers for more efficient amplification (with A outputs driving the woofers, for instance, and the B outputs driving the tweeters--make sure your speakers are compatible if this is a key feature for you).

Other features include bass and treble tone controls, a tone-control bypass switch for listening with greater sonic purity, a dimmable fluorescent display, and a .25-inch headphone jack for private listening.

BUT I LOVE THIS THING!! For less than $..., I got an entertainment hub that can handle VCR, cassette tape, DVD and CD players, along with AM and FM tuner, 105 watts a channel and a great name from hi-fi's past to boot! The lush, spatial stereo this unit provides will probably have me buying Sherwood amplifiers, preamps or receivers until some Japanese or Dutch electronics giant buys them up, (if they haven't already!)

Remote control, tonal adjustments from across the room, etc., etc.....you can't ask for more than that for $...!! There's even a provision for surround sound!

In the sixities and seventies, Sherwood equipment always did have a great reputation, and they were never expensive, either. I guess they're carrying that tradition into the 21st century.

3.0 out of 5 stars 5 Audio Inputs...But not for your Phonograph, January 22, 2004

This Amplifier is worth the $100. Although the specs claim to have 5 Audio Inputs...Including a TV/AUX, You will need to Purchase a Pre-Amplifier if you plan to use a TurnTable.
The Amp I was replacing was OLD...Before Remotes...and had a Max Output of 50 Watts Per Channel...But the Phonograph was Plug and Play. In today's world, CD's have virtually replaced Albumns, so it is no longer necessary to have a pre-amp for the majority of purchasers...but if Customer Service had informed me when I called for advise, I would not have waited 2 weeks thinking I had an Unreturnable(Received for Christmas...30 Day Return Policy...Mother purchased in Nov.)Unit which would not serve my needs.
The Pre-Amp is available from Phonopreamps.com for about $27.00.
After all was said and Done I had around over $150.00 invested.
Also, like the new Gasolines...I don't think Watts are graded the same today because it seems the 50 WPC unit I replaced had more BOTTOM than this Unit.

2.0 out of 5 stars modern-day stereo mediocrity, July 10, 2003

Sound quality okay; generally clean good for background music and ambient audio when hooked up to video system. Power good, but lack of decent tone controls limits musical enjoyment, however. Typical of many new-age units, the lack of [meaningful] bass/treble controls make it hard to tailor the sound to any environment. There are only five settings each, and they provide minimum boost over a very limited spectrum. This is why they invented equalizers.
