awesome by fisher on amazon.com Jul 6, 2012
this system worked for my entire house. the dual zone is perfect to put music everywhere or in just one spot. plenty of power and very easy to use. this will do what you want a $1,200 system to do.
 
Great Product Aug 18, 2011
My house is pre-wired with ceiling speaker and I needed a reasonable unit to support multiple audio inputs and ideally more then two speaker outputs. This unit has 4 speaker outputs and multiroom concept. No need for a separate speaker switching unit. ...
 
Outstanding for this low price by The Old Listener on beachaudio.com Jan 31, 2008
This has a phono input, a must, and very rare, especially at this price. Sound is clean, noise-free, good output from low bass to high end. Controls pretty obvious and easy to use. A few minor annoyances: It doesn't power up directly, but goes into ...
 
Sherwood RX5502 Receiver by A&B Haapanen on amazon.com Apr 9, 2012
My old 20 year Onkyo finally died. I bought this as a replacement. I am totally pleased. Simple install, simple controls, great sound quality. This unit is driving 5 pairs of speakers throught the house. TV, Zune and DVD work great. Can't beat the price ...
 
Excellent sound, just what I wanted by loco on amazon.com Apr 9, 2012
This unit solved several needs for us. It powers 4 sets of speakers in different rooms PLUS a woofer and provides simultaneous sound from the radio stations and TV as well. So far (after a month) my only complaint is the poorly lit display, a minor annoyance ...

Great concept, but have blown 3 in 2 years by Jestep on amazon.com Jun 11, 2012
Exactly what I need to a multi-zone setup. Audio only is great since I don't need a video receiver. Have used this product in a house and we also use one in our office. When it works, it's an absolutely amazing product. As to the rating, we've blown ...
 
Pretty weak receiver by musicgyrl on amazon.com Jan 25, 2012
I bought this for my whole house music system based on all the glowing reviews. It seemed to work ok but the volume was never very good. I only set up 6 of the 8 speakers and 20 minutes into playing it stopped working - I assume it went into protection ...
 
Bad luck by Bin Liu on amazon.com Aug 29, 2011
I order a review on July 29, 2011. I got it on Aug 7. But, I first use it on Aug 27. Some smoke come out from the receiver. It is bad one. I am bad luck. I have to mail it to the Sherwood warranty service to fix. The seller is Electronics Expo
 
dead on arrival by Rollie G. Hanna on amazon.com Jul 29, 2011
Did not work ... all connections proper no output Unit was obviously not powered up at factory ... NO quality control.... Expo will (supposedly) send return UPS label ... 9 days to get here .. 9 days to go back ... nine days to get replacement ...
 
Not what they used to be by Bruce H. "BH" on amazon.com Oct 19, 2011
Updating this review to be fair. I bought this stereo and after a few days it stopped playing, I called Sherwood and they said the amp was probably blown due to hooking up the speakers by following the instructions diagram. Anyway, I was going to return ...

I can easily switch between A, B, C, or D speakers or any combination of the 4, it's rather easy, once you've mastered how to switch them using both the A/B switch and the C/D switch...Inexpensive and the amplifier works well...I can keep a nice low volume, yet fill the entire space with audio...
