I feel Marantz is a great pair with the Axiom M60s and below (considering the budget people who spend ~1000 on stereo pair would most likely have). In reality there is alot of good "mid-ranged" receiers out there that could pair well with the Axioms I believe. I have never heard a Sherwood personally, but I was also curious why they were resold here.
