Sherwood Newcastle Am 9080

Has anyone had experience with this amp, either fot HT or 2 channel music. Am looking for a flexible mutlichannel amp that can do both well.

It will depend greatly on the rest of your system. In a home theater setup I could be totally happy with it. If you want it for music also your speakers and taste will make the decision. This amp had a unique sonic signature. If you told us what else you're using it would help.

The biggest drawback for me was it's a monster @ ~75 lbs, and big package compared to other 5 ch amps. At the prices I've seen them sell recently it's an excellent value, but the B&K 5 channel amps (eg AV5125) are much, much better in every way, and do a great job with music too.

I went ahead and bought one from EBAY for 270, not bad. I can't wait to set it up.
