Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Axiom To Distribute Sherwood-Newcastle?

I've seen the blowups on Sherwood's US site and I'm hoping Axiom can do better, both in terms of size and a much higher resolution, my eyes aren't what they used to be

I'll agree the prices seem very good.

OK, someone's got to come out with it... what's the relation between Sherwood Newcastle and Sherwood-who-makes-absolute-crap-that-gets-sold-on-Amazon?

If you go to the Sherwood site they show the regular Sherwood products also. I think the Newcastle stuff is their higher end product.

That would have been far too easy.

A quick call to Sherwood confirmed they are in fact the same company. The Newcastle line is their higher end line.

Judging from general impressions and reviews, it's significantly higher end...

By the way, you're making me feel really lazy.

You asked . My son had a Sherwood reciever I bought him a few years ago. He beat the crapp out of it and had two sets of speakers running through the ab outputs. So it looks like the lower end stuff might do ok with 4 ohm speakers. I have it hooked up to the computer now, it has never skipped a beat.

I shall have to pay less attention to Amazon user reviews.

Alot of those reviews are done by kids so take them with the proverbial grain of salt, OK a dump truck full of salt, especially the ones saying the product is not as good as... instead of just listing the shortfalls, differences and such, much like the many great reviews we see here.
