The price was right, shipping was very quick, very pleased. The only problem I encountered was it’s a little difficult to connect the speaker wires to the back of the receiver, small area to work.

This was recommended to me by a low voltage guy who installs audio video equipment for a living. Runs our multiple zones flawlessly. There are easier set ups to install the speaker wires in the back than this one utilizes, but once they are installed, they aren’t going to pull out. Had it up and running 3 separate sets of speakers in no time.

At less than 150 bucks, you aren’t going to find a whole lot of quality receivers, but this one would be an exception. Features a “two room” system for 100watt rms/speaker. Very nice. Would have liked to have a little more features when it comes to adjusting the tone (you get a generic bass/treble adjustment, no more). However, it was very easy to set up and my BIC DV64s sound good through them. Simple controls, features sleep timer and ground wire for phono hook-ups.

Years ago in college I bought a Sansui stereo component system, at the time State of the Art. It had an amp, pre-amp with 4 RCA in/out ports, a digital tuner, a direct drive turntable, and a dual cassette deck player/recorder. The 100-watts per channel was clean and the RCA multiple ports allowed me over time to replace the turntable with an iPod dock and the cassette player with a carousel CD player. I added an equalizer along the way to clean up the sound to my room acoustics and make my big 12 woofer floor speakers resonate with clarity. Imagine my dismay a week before Christmas when the left channel of the Sansui amp decided to check out after so many years of faithful service. We were having a crowd over for Christmas eve dinner and my wife always likes to have Christmas music pumped through the house to enhance the atmosphere. I knew we didn’t want to totally replace the system with a home theater set-up, just find a worthy successor to the amp/pre-amp with multiple in/out ports and strong clean sound reproduction. Being an Amazon Prime member brought me quickly to the website and a few minutes later I was perusing home electronics. I settled on RX5502 because it didn’t cost an arm and a leg like most home theater systems, Sherwood has been around since my high school days and does one thing and does it well, and the multiple in/out RCA functionality was there. The unit was ordered within 30 minutes and arrived in 2 days; it took a half day to strip out the old components and replace them with the Sherwood. The controls are very intuitive and conveniently laid out. The sound is clean and rich and our big Samsung LCD flat screen TV is complimented nicely by the strong clean sounds from our Sherwood when watching a DVD, ROKU streaming, or satellite movie channels. Sports events are even more amazing. If you have multiple inputs and multiple speakers and need to update the heart of your system, you can’t go wrong with this unit.

After my Yamaha receiver went out about a year ago, I was living without music, looking for used receivers on Craig’s List and Ebay. I realized that this new one was about as cheap as a used one, and I wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking a few weeks after I bought it, as I would with a used one. This sounds better than my old Yamaha and I’m back spinning my old vinyl again! This was a much better idea than buying a used one or fixing the old one (again!!)
