Product Description

Product Description

Sherwood's incredibly affordable RX-4105 offers integrated preamplification and amplification, inputs for numerous audio source components, and advanced radio tuning and station access. The receiver delivers 100 watts RMS per channel x 2 for strong, clear sound across the audible spectrum--even at low listening levels. The company has lowered the amplifier's distortion relative to the previous model (the RX-4105), to less than 0.08 percent, while also giving the receiver a new layout borrowed from its higher-end components. The RX-4105 uses totally discrete amplifiers for all channels (TDAS) to maintain its high power and low distortion. Use the receiver's A and B clip-type speaker outputs to power 2 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).The receiver also offers a handy 25-key remote control and switching for 2 pair of loudspeakers. Audio inputs switch between and amplify up to 4 additional components, including 2 requiring both inputs and outputs (such as a cassette deck and a VCR). The built-in AM/FM tuner features 30 station presets and auto station setup.Other features include bass and treble tone controls, a dimmable fluorescent display, and a .25-inch headphone jack for private listening.

1.0 out of 5 stars Possibly dangerous product - be careful, February 18, 2002

By	Ronald K. Goodenow (Northboro, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This product sounded very good, and had some nice features like
an easy to use remote. But, within a week it had shorted out and
destroyed two speaker systems. Loud explosion in house, smell of
burning circuitry. Obviously, no output protection circuits. I am trying to get through to Sherwood, but they have not responded to phone calls or e-mails for almost two weeks and I am preparing to take my complaint to appropriate consumer protection agencies.

Note, I emailed, called Sherwood several more times and even tried to get the company I bought it from involved, but never have had the courtesy of a response. Zip. Stay away.

5.0 out of 5 stars You will not find a better 2 channel receiver for the price., November 4, 2005

By	Robert C. Kettenburg (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Purchased the Sherwood RX-4103 receiver from J & R Music in New York City on-line here at Amazon.com and I must say I am quite pleased. I even received an e-mail with the UPS tracking number and website allowing me to track the package as it was being shipped to me. J & R Music promised the receiver via UPS today and they delivered. The stereo is everything I thought it would be and more. The sound quality is crisp and clean, with no noticeable distortion, and each pair of speaker outlets even has it's own amplifier. 105 watts per channel X 2 channels, but there are outlets (and amplifiers) for 4 speakers. The AM/FM tuner comes with a pair of antennea (one for each band) and the signal reception is quite good considering my location. The remote control will allow you to program and listen to 30 different radio stations which can then be scanned and listened to for 5 seconds each at the touch of a button; and then another touch halts the scan on the station playing the song you like. You can also adjust the treble and bass with the remote control, not to mention adjust the volume (there's even a mute button), the balance, and, believe it or not, activate a sleep timer for 10,20,30,40,50,60, or 90 minutes. There are also PLENTY of RCA jacks in the back of this black monster to hook up a cd/dvd player, cassette deck, VCR, and/or TV. You could even connect an i-pod or your computer's sound to the back of the amp, if you have the proper cables for your external devices. All in all, a lot of receiver for not a lot of money. I would highly recommend the Sherwood RX-4103 stereo receiver and J & R Music in New York City, purchased over the web, right here at Amazon.com.

3.0 out of 5 stars Competent, November 26, 2002

By A Customer

Unless you are an audiophile,I believe this is an excellent receiver. True, it is very basic, but for the price you can't beat it. I wish it had an AC plugin in the back and a reverse speaker phase button.
