Sherwood S-5500 Tube Amplifier
This Integrated tube amp with the 4 x 7868 output pentodes rocks big time! tested it with JBL 4335 studio monitors in a huge room, 100 square meters and 5 meters high ceilings. This combination filled easily the room with an incredible rich and precise bass fundament. The only comparable amplifier is the amp unit of the 1967 Pioneer SX-800A. A very graceful sound without any importunity.
This 1960 or 1961 Sherwood tube stereo amp is 64 watts per channel – very powerful for a tube amp. It is detailed and spacious, whether listening to an iPod, CD or a turntable. It was designed and built in Chicago in a factory on north California Street.
