poorly designed and made, but pumps out pretty good sound

(2 out of 5) by lazza on May 21, 2009 (Fort Lauderdale, Florida)
I bought the Sherwood RX-4109 back in Dec 2007 to replace a 25 year old receiver. The Sherwood died some 22 days later (would not power up). The replacement failed yesterday (no sound). I have given up on Sherwood.

To its credit, I thought the receiver generated fairly good sound. But its overall design and user interface were clunky, and the FM tuner abysmal.


Bottom line: with two failed units within 18 months I cannot recommend the Sherwood despite its very attractive price.

Made in china...

The receiver lacks flexibility if you want to connect speakers with less than 8 ohms. The remote control was a joke, almost like a toy and it didn't work at all with the unit. The manual doesn't explain very much either. It had some humming once turned on. The volume knob would jump from levels so I had to turn it very gently to get the volume that I wanted. I regret buying this brand. Next time I will save more and buy something (hopefully) not made in china if I can.
