Sherwood RX-4105 100 Watt Stereo Receiver (Black)
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.

With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Good buy, nice amp
This Sherwood (noted brand years ago, now mysterious) might be a decent bargain for twice the money. It's stripped down by present standards -- two channels only, no phonograph input. It's dead quiet and extremely clean sounding. I can't hear any emphases or dead spots in the frequencies. The tuner is exceptionally good; I am surprised at the success I'm having with it in a poor reception area, with only the antennas that are supplied. Appearance and quality are fine: nice black steel case, solid buttons, one big old volume knob. It was all I needed, so I'm very pleased. Going to get another for a computer amp.

Sound Value
Sherwood was a manufacture of mid quality, tube type audio devices during my childhood- a long time ago. A typical two channel, tube type AM/FM stereo receiver made 30 RMS watts per channel and cost around $200. By those standards, today's Sherwood RX- 4103 making more than three times the power at half the cost is an outstanding value.

This is an attractive, cool running, although quite large and heavy, receiver. The display is functional and easy to read. The controls are well marked and easy to understand and use. The remote control buttons are readable by my ancient eyes and offer a number of desirable functions. My only complaint with the packaging of this unit is the size and weight. For some reason, Sherwood used a massive power supply transformer which requires a large enclosure and makes the unit heavy. Why didn't they employ a switching power supply and cut the size and weight by 2/3?

I purchased this receiver because I needed an amplifier for my...
Most inexpensive receiver
If you want a straight forward stereo receiver costing the least amount of dollars, then Sherwood Rx-4105 receiver fits the bill pretty well.

It has AM/FM, and 30 station presets. External connection wise it supports Tape, VCR, CD, and TV. (no phono support)

Its construction is sturdy and heavy. Sound quality appears very clean sounding. FM reception is average. Weak stations need the use of a good antenna to pull in the signal.

Very solid receiver!
These days, it's getting harder to find stereo only receivers. I needed one for my garage and parties.
I really did not want to buy a home theatre system with all the extra video ports that would never be used.
This receiver rocks! Lots of power, an MP3 jack in front, optional bluetooth adapter (which I'll never use).
The AM/FM reception is very good, I'm almost 30 miles from most transmitters.
The dial cranks up to 70 for power. It is crisp and clear up to about 64. Then a little bit of distortion
enters into the picture. That's pretty respectable. Even cranked up for hours it seems to run cool enough.
Great bang for the buck and highly recommended. Take advantage of the subwoofer out and add one to your system.
I paired it with two Sony SSF-5000 speakers, and the Sony SA-W3000 subwoofer. Turns out to be a good balanced system.
I can even listen to it a quarter mile away in my sweet corn field!

A very versatile and good sounding receiver at an excellent price
I recently purchased the Sherwood RX-4503 2.1 receiver from Amazon. I currently own two Sherwood RX-4109 receivers and lost a third RX-4109, that was three years old, from overheating (see the bottom note). I think the RX-4503 has some very interesting features:

Although it is a two channel receiver, it can simulate surround sound.

It has a rear panel preamp out (single line) for a connection to a self powered sub woofer.

The specs in the supplied manual show:
Power Output, Stereo Mode, 8 Ohms THD 0.08% 40 Hz-20 Khz 2X100W
Total harmonic distortion, 8 ohms, 100W, 40 Hz-20 Khz 0.02%

My speaker system for this receiver is a pair of Polk Monitor 30 speakers and a Polk PSW10 Sub-Woofer

The Monitor 30 speakers are -3Db at 63 Hz
The PSW10 50 watt sub-woofer is -3Db at 40 Hz
The listening room is 12x14

I like the looks of this receiver and it has an uncluttered face which reminds me of the NAD...
Wow!
I am very amazed on the sound quality. I have this hooked up to some Sony SS-B1000 Bookshelf Speakers and they are wonderful together. I have this system hooked up to my PC and TV. I use winamp to play all my music and I recommend that on the equalizer section to bring up the preamp to bring up the volume level. Love the sub out on the back I can't wait to get one for it. I will probably get the Sony SA-W2500. I was going to get a 5.1 system but this actually works well and cheaper too. Oh yah Pandora is great on this too and my PS3 games are more alive. I used to have the Logitech Z-2300 that system rocks but this is the way to go the sound is more full.

Sherwood RX-4109 105 Watt Stereo Receiver (Black)
Unlike the budget stereo receivers now flooding the entry-level price points at dealers across the country, the Sherwood RX-4109 is designed and built in-house with the same quality and attention to detail we have been bringing to our audio gear for the last 50 years. With 105 Watts RMS per channel, phono section, binding posts, a versatile remote control and switching for two pairs of loudspeakers, the only thing that bespeaks the word "budget" about the RX-4109 is its modest cost.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

An Inexpensive Surprise - Sherwood RX-4109
UPDATE: 5/25/2012 Raising this receiver to 5 stars from four....still going strong. For the price, it's got to be the best one out there.
------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: 3/26/2011 The Sherwood is still running strong.
-------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: (November 12, 2010): This receiver, except for electrical failures, has been on and functioning properly now for more than two years straight.
--------------------------------------------------------------

I'm an old audiophile, dating back to when "MacIntosh" was not the name of a computer. It was the company name of the most prestigious of hi-fi components. What dismays me is that today's manufacturers of audio equipment (some of them well known brands) rely on the ignorance of the consumer when it comes to audio specifications; and they can get away with it because there no longer seems to be any standards for those specifications...

Extremely good value UPDATE JUNE 2009
UPDATE 11/2010 not that it matters, but still going strong... it's on 24x7

UPDATE JUNE 2009. What can I say, this unit runs almost continuously in the summer, I turn it off in the winter. It's running under a 6 ohm load which is really pushing it. I have 3 pairs of outdoor speakers with separate impedence matching volume controls, that sort of help with the impedence, and this thing has held up really well. If I crank the volume too high (like really loud) due to the low impedence it will go into protection, but that's not the fault of the unit, it's rated at 8 ohms.

So, in all this has been a great purchase.

===

I have what appears to be the BESTBUY version of this receiver, the Insignia NS-R2000. It is identical in all respects, except for the name, and the remote control even works with the Sherwood. So, with that in mind, I replaced a Sherwood 4105 with this unit. I have 3 pairs of speakers connected to impedence matching...
Great sound and construction on a budget
This receiver is one of the bangs for the buck for any hi-fi enthusiast. For such a low price, you can get sound quality that rivals most home theater systems that cost much more money. Less is definitely more in this case. The discrete amplification really helped improve the sound quality of well mastered music media, and the radio signals are decent on stations that do not use lots of compression. The option to add 2 pairs of speakers is a plus so that you can use it in a smaller room or a larger room and the sound still feels like it surrounds you with the dynamics fully intact. The phono input is a must for me as I have a huge vintage vinyl collection, so that was a selling point for me. Since the sound quality and the build quality are both excellent, I don't end up having to upgrade to anything else.
