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.

Good buy, nice ampFeb 05, 2005
By L. Allis 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 ValueApr 04, 2005
By Embry Mayes Kendrick

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 bedroom, and I was unable to find a discrete amplifier at a reasonable price. The amplifier section in this receiver is excellent. The first thing that struck me was that it is quiet. With the volume at mid-high level, silence reigns between CD tracks. Further, the output is clean even at high levels. I have two amplifier related complaints. The bass tone control curve is not well designed. Increasing the bass causes the middle frequencies to become muddy. The speaker wire connectors are too small to accommodate #16 wire. This is a powerful amplifier, and it should have been given binding posts capable of accepting wire large enough to deliver the power to the speakers.
The tuner sections lack sensitivity, and the AM tuner has poor noise rejection in my experience. The lack of sensitivity will likely not be a problem for those living near the stations they want to tune.
The Sherwood RX- 4103 offers a lot of performance for the price. Yes, I wish it were smaller, had better tuners and binding posts for the speaker wires, but I don't think you can find a better stereo receiver within $75 of this one.

Most inexpensive receiverJul 03, 2005
By T. Wang

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.

Unhappy CustomerAug 11, 2005
By Chef Franz The receiver worked fine for about 3 month. Now I can't get it out of standby mode, no matter what I try. I can't even turn it OFF, it just stays in standby mode. What a waste of money, even if it was only 90 bucks.

Great ValueSep 21, 2005
By Roger Sadowsky I'm very pleased with this receiver except for one thing. You cannot see any of the buttons or knobs in low light. The print is very faint and there are no LEDs or any other lights to help you find anything except on the power button. But the receiver sounds great and is a great value.
