5.0 out of 5 stars Best two channel amp you can buy for less than $200
IMHO, no doubt this is the best two channel amp you can buy for less than $200. So what is the basis of my humble opinion? Let’s start with what this Sherwood replaced: an early 1980s vintage NAD 3020 that finally “passed”. Balance of system: Technics SL D2, Shure M 97xE, Marantz CD 5004 and ELAC B6. I listen to music through this system at both low and high volume in my home office/man cave mostly when I am (as my daughter would say) “typing” and during those occasional moments when I have the chance to do some “chillin” (as my son would say). My mix: 40% vinyl 40% streaming music through iPhone, 20% CDs. I consider myself someone who likes music, listens to a lot of it, all types. Like wine, I prefer “good quality, good value” to “perfection at any price”.So what does this Sherwood sound like (to me)? Well, first, it sounds a bit more “open” and “dynamic” and at least as “full” and “clear” as the NAD; NAD was perhaps a bit “warmer”. Now perhaps you may think that is to be expected given the comparison to 35 year old hardware, but truthfully, (as you will see if you google that amp) the NAD was (and is) considered by audiophiles to be “one of the best of all time" "no frills, very good sounding”. And truthfully, that is the main thing you are buying this amp for – no frills great amplification. A few additional notes.On the input side, the Bluetooth is magic. Great (easy) pairing, great range, and most importantly, great sound. Way better sound (and way more convenient) than the previous iPhone line out (headphone jack) to aux input that I did with the NAD. The phono stage is (as others have noted here) subpar. I fixed that by adding an outboard phono stage (ART DJ Pre II – awesome sound). CDs are the basis of the “apples to apples” comparison that I used to characterize the sound relative to the NAD.On the “fit and finish” side: binding posts for speakers (banana plug option!) excellent. No switched outlet on the back: bummer relative to that phono preamp! As old school as the amplifier design is (kind of awesome to look in the case and see an amplifier stage that doesn’t use a single integrated circuit), the control is as digital as it gets – you will want to control this via the very functional but not very aesthetic remote (the “analogue” volume knob on the receiver itself has the least satisfying volume knob feel I have ever encountered anywhere). Overall – the brushed black metal case looks at home with my other black audio equipment, and no doubt will look at home with yours.
5.0 out of 5 stars Stiff and rough, but ready...
I'm going to try mightily to be brief. I'm a baby-boom gen product, grew up with phono and amps/pre-amps, receivers....I was a music fan as a teen, a card-carrying (AES) sound engineer and rock & roll biz person in the 80's mostly. I like music.So I've owned Macintosh and Dynaco and NAD mostly, good but easy-to-use-at-home stuff. I did some radio stuff too, so I had a reel-to-reel (needing an input), cassette in, phono in, and VCR/Beta inputs. Context.Here in the 21st century and with a dying receiver which has been ok for 15 years or so (Sony, receiver, 100W x2, with inputs and speaker options, plus phono input and tape). Something blew in the Sony. OK, a good life. What's out there now for someone like me, wants to hear the sound (driving good speakers) and have inputs, and radio is nice too. But a generational upgrade too, maybe, like something with Bluetooth. And voila.This thing is driving two sets of big speakers (Advent and Dynaco), and to my aged ears, does just fine, even at 30 - 30K Hz. Gets as loud as me or my neighbors need. As I think I've read in reviews, the volume knob is "stiff", needing a lot of turn for the buck, but no big deal, and may protect ears or speakers. The big evolution for me is the addition of the remote and subtraction of dials on the unit itself. The remote is THE interface for things formerly done by dials, like speaker balance, and tone. On the receiver there's a button to choose mode and a few for radio (I think), but the idea is to use the remote for most/all things. I use a mixer to input a few tape machines into "auxiliary". Works fine. It all works fine. And for the price it's probably pretty amazing when I think about it, compared with the 70's or 80's. (my music prime)Several minor pluses/minuses for me, but I suppose YMMV -Minus is the knob stiffness and absence of on-unit controls. Wish-list would be for some more inputs, more balance/tone/etc. control knobs, and better/easier control of speakers (now dependent on remote for adding/subtracting speakers). Again, I'm critiquing like a critic, but for this price it's pretty amazing that it does the things it does.Positives include a decent radio (in my urban environment) ... plus Bluetooth! It's very nice to finally be able to simply "beam" what I'm watching on my laptop on YouTube or some other stream, over to a set of big (I mean studio) speakers.Really a new door opening for me, upgrading from (decent) Macbook speakers to a set of studio monitors, via this receiver. Easy to pair the computer (could be a tablet or phone) to this receiver. Just choose the input, hoist up the volume, and it's really pretty decent for an Internet-fed sound stream.Short version: It works like the receivers of yore... handles "peripherals" from turntable to CD and an "auxiliary" (tape, etc.). Has the power, and can be slowly cranked up on the stiff magic dial. Mostly it's easy to do everything with the remote. Has Bluetooth built-in too. Specs (as a pro) are eh, but plenty good for 98% of users, including anyone with neighbors or old enough to remember receivers and televisions in every home!
4.0 out of 5 stars Wow, Great buy.
I replaced a 35 year old Concept Receiver with the Sherwood RX 4508 becuase I wanted to receive Bluetooth radio and have a digital tuner rather then keep trying to find the exact analog FM station. The sound is better than I imagined, sharp and clear. Mostly listen to Classical with some country inbetween. Set up was easy except for the antenna. The reason for only 4 stars is that the receiver does not come with a built in AM antenna and the exterior loop antenna provided looks terrible. The FM antenna is just a wire and the connection is very tight and does not provide good reception. I listen to KUSC and live about 60 miles from the transmitter. Had a old Terk antenna around the house and once I connected that both AM and FM became great. Having a remote makes operating the system very easy and was easy to program. My system is located near the floor so I no longer have to get on my knees to change stations. One anoying problem so far is that if you switch from bluetooth to FM and go back to bluetooth you loose you bluetooth connection and it must be re-established. This happens only if you use the remote and not the main console. Could just be me since I am not overly computer literate. What is amazing is the number of stations you can receive over bluetooth and you can select music from almost any album ever produced.
Una muy buena opción para un receptor económico con algunos aspectos a mejorar
UPDATE: Se agregó una estrella al producto porque con unas bocinas de buena calidad como las S55 de Polk el RX4508 demuestra su verdadero potencial de audio que es muy superior al inicialmente reseñado.El Sherwood RX4508 es un receptor con características atractivas para su precio: sistema análogo de amplificación (D.A.S.), potencia total de 200W RMS en 2 canales, receptor AM/FM y conectividad Bluetooth.Con un diseño limpio, sencillo y elegante, una pantalla luminosa fácil de leer y un pequeño led para indicar el estado de la conectividad Bluetooth.El frontal del receptor tiene un control giratorio de volumen así como botones de encendido, cambio de fuente de entrada (input), un botón de memoria para estaciones de radio y dos botones de función múltiple. Otras funciones importantes como el balance y control de frecuencias bajas y altas sólo son accesibles mediante el control remoto, una limitación importante pues si el control se pierde o daña es imposible realizar ese tipo de ajustes.La primera recomendación para usar este aparato es que se debe tener especial cuidado en la elección de las bocinas que se le van a conectar, es compatible únicamente con bocinas mínimo de 8 Ohms𝝮 (Ohmios) de impedancia, si se usan bocinas de 6 Ohms𝝮 o menos la sección de amplificación se sobrecalienta y activa el circuito de protección del receptor apagándolo. Además, es recomendable que las bocinas tengan una capacidad similar a la salida de potencia del aparato (mínimo 75 W y máximo 150 W), emplear bocinas de baja potencia aumenta el riesgo de que se revienten a alto volumen, y conectarlo a bocinas excesivamente potentes causa distorsión y pueden quemarse fácilmente los tweeters. En mi caso lo probé con dos pares diferentes de bocinas de 8 Ohms 𝝮: unas Polk Monitor 40 Series II de 125 W y unas Sony SS-F5000 de 150 W conectando cada par por separado, si se desea usarlo con 2 juegos de bocinas simultáneamente (en los canales A y B) es indispensable que sean de 16 Ohms𝝮 cada una. No hay que perder de vista que los 100 W por canal son para 2 bocinas, si conectamos otro par en el canal B recibirán igual 100 W cada una siempre y cuando sólo esté activo un canal, si se activan los canales A+B (las 4 bocinas a la vez) la potencia para cada una se reduce a la mitad por lo que obtendremos una potencia real de 50 W por bocina.En cuanto al sonido, es cálido, con detalle y de buena potencia gracias al amplificador T.D.A. que sin problemas ofrece suficiente potencia para un espacio grande, sin embargo el ruido de fondo (estática) es muy perceptible entre pistas musicales y se escucha cuando ni siquiera está reproduciendo música en cualquier fuente (radio, CD, auxiliar, Phono o Bluetooth). Afortunadamente la estática permanece siempre al mismo nivel y no aumenta cuando se sube el volumen. Este detalle puede deberse a una mediocre calidad en los capacitores de la sección de potencia o a un deficiente aislamiento en el transformador eléctrico, no es particularmente molesto el ruido pero si uno está acostumbrado a los amplificadores digitales que prácticamente no tienen ruido de fondo, sí es algo a considerar con este receptor.En cuanto a la conectividad, el RX4508 cuenta con 3 entradas (inputs) analógicas (RCA) para CD, Phono (tocadiscos con pastilla MM) y Auxiliar, 2 salidas (outputs) también analógicas para CD y auxiliar, 1 salida de audífonos, así como conectividad inalámbrica vía Bluetooth con códec aptX para dispositivos compatibles. Todas las conexiones cableadas tienen excelente ganancia y nitidez, pero se echa de menos la falta de una entrada óptica para audio digital, y la salida de audífonos no se activa automáticamente al conectar el jack, es necesario apagar las salidas A y/o B de las bocinas usando el control remoto para que se active la salida de audífonos. Además, la calidad de audio Bluetooth no es tan buena como la de modelos similares de Yamaha y Onkyo que por supuesto cuestan un poco más, en el Sherwood el sonido BT carece de articulación y adecuada brillantez en las frecuencias altas pero aún así cumple.Si necesitas es un receptor estéreo de buena calidad a un precio accesible sin duda que el Sherwood RX4508 no te decepcionará, es inmensamente superior a alternativas baratas como Pyle o marcas similares. Pero buscas un equipo con audio, duración y características sobresalientes mejor es que consideres gastar por lo menos el doble en un Marantz, Denon, Onkyo o Yamaha.Pros:- Sonido potente, cálido y detallado gracias al amplificador analógico D.A.S.- Conectividad Bluetooth con códec aptX.- Sintonizador AM/FM con memoria para 30 estaciones de radio.- Modalidad Tone Direct (frecuencia plana) o ajuste para graves y agudos.- Diseño sobrio y atractivo.- Entrada Phono preamplificada para tocadiscos de acetatos.- Excelente precio.Contras:- Ruido de fondo más elevado de lo normal.- Carece de entradas digitales.- Sólo es compatible con bocinas de 8 Ohms𝝮 o más.- Sólo es posible conectar 4 bocinas si son de 16 Ohms𝝮.- Audio Bluetooth con calidad apenas pasable.- Algunas funciones importantes únicamente son accesibles con el control remoto.- Durabilidad cuestionable por ser un receptor de gama de entrada.
Muy contento con el Receptor
La verdad me esperé un tiempo antes de evaluarlo porque quería saber si presentaría algún desperfecto en estos meses de uso, sin duda es un excelente compra en cuanto a precio calidad, el sonido es muy bueno por el precio que uno abona, el bluetooth se conecta facilmente, aunque me hubiera gustado que se pudieran conectar varios dispositivos y solo lo hace uno por vez, obvio que no estoy diciendo de reproducir varios al mismo tiempo.Y otro tema que me hubiera gustado pero cuando lo compré sabía de esta característica es que no le hubiera venido nada mal una entrada y salida hdmi.
Sonido deficiente
Pensé en esta consola por el costo y realmente es como tener un mini componente sin potencia y sonido acartonado, realmente fue muy mala compra, inviertan un poco más y no tiren su dinero
Amplificador
Excelente. Equipo solo que se apaga cuando le subes mucho volumen , creo que se autoprotección pq lo encuentra y normal no sé si no esté bien acoplado las impedancia de las bocinas
Buen producto por balor
Si le subes mucho el volumen entra en corto y ya no funciona. Casi al maximo
