Digital camera reviews of Sherwood RX-4105 100 Watt Stereo Receiver (Black)
Digital camera Review: Buyer Beware!
Summary: 1 Stars
The first tuner amp I received had no right sided sound. Amazon very quickly and efficiently sent a replacement overnight. The replacement had no sound from either of the A channels and no sound coming from the right B channel. Then it began turning itself off every few seconds. What ever happened to quality control? Buyer beware. I'll stick with Sony.Digital camera Review: Decent overall but radio reception is terrible
Summary: 2 Stars
Purchased this a few weeks ago and it appears to be a decent receiver. My major complaint is that the FM reception is virtually non-existent. I live within 15 miles of downtown Atlanta and usually have no problems pulling in many stations but this thing could not pull in even one station.
To be fair I drove the receiver to another location across town and experienced the same thing. Terrible reception. I ensured that the supplied el-cheapo antenna wires (both am and fm) were attached properly and experimented with placement.
My other concern is the speaker feeds on the back of the receiver. Seem poorly designed to me.
I will say it's a good looking receiver and the sound quality while playing CD's and DVD's is good. Nice remote also.
I rate it as a poor buy due to the reception issue.
For the price it's ok if your not interested in the radio.
Digital camera Review: Didn't Work Out of the Box
Summary: 1 Stars
Hooked up the speakers and plugged it in. Standby lite came on. Turned the power on, unit played for 15-20 seconds then reverted to standby. Disconnected speakers, same thing happened. Called Sherwood
(it was not easy to reach them). Was told I should be using 16 ohm speakers. Nothing about that in the specs. Two service repair centers listed on their website. Called both, neither knew anything about Sherwood. Returning it to Amazon in exchange for another brand.
Digital camera Review: Does the trick for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I really just wanted a stereo amp to use with my wireless home network and Roku Soundbridge to listen to internet radio and my mp3 collection. The guy at the electronics store suggested this unit even though I wouldn't need the tuner. When I got it home I had to look at the receipt again. Yep only $74 new. Build quality seems better than that price although being of Chinese manufacture it may be full of noxious stuff.
Easy set-up and use, 2x100 watts and the amp is quiet and gives me more than enough volume. Even the tuner is not bad when using the supplied 75 ohm FM antenna. I can't see what's not to like for this simple application.
Its survived a week long burn in so I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope it lasts at least a year.
Four stars only because it is bare bones and I'm not that sure about the reliability. For what it does the receiver seems a great bargain.
Update (1/18/09): Still going strong after a year of pretty much daily use, 4-10 hours per day. Looks like a winner.
Digital camera Review: Does what I wanted
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted a receiver so I could listen to the radio and CD's in my living room. I did not need surround sound nor did I want to buy additional speakers. My home has on open plan so I'm not just in the living room sitting and listening. It works great. Its a little more difficult to set up preset stations but that is easily forgiven because the sound quality is better than my last unit.
