In Reply to: Cheaper alternative to Anthem AVM 20 posted by JoeY on February 23, 2004 at 21:34:45:
Arriving in stores this week is the new Sherwood-Newcastle P-965 pre/pro. Although not THX certified or equiped, it has an amazing feature set for a list price of $1500.00 See it at www.sherwoodusa.com. The prior model from Sherwood was well regarded by both audio-journalists and owners. I has some of the features of the Anthem, like bass management (digital) for the multi-channel input. Best of all, it has DPLIIx, which not even the Anthem has yet. It comes with a remote that is a Sherwood-branded MX-500, too. I can't say what it sounds like yet, but it's on my short list. You should be able to get something off of list price.
Follow Ups:
TRY OUTLAW AUDIO OR ATLANTIC TECHNOLOGY SWAME ITEMS. MANUFACTURED FROM SAME FACTORY, DIFFERENCES ARE MINUTE. OUTLAW IS $800.
I've got my eye on this unit, been looking at this for awhile. Can't wait to see it, should be soon....
According to Sherwood America's marketing chief, the P-965 ships to dealers this week. Oh, did I mention the P-965 has an upsampler for digital inputs? It upsamples the front L/R channels of any digital input, even in DD or DTS modes. If well implemented, this could be awesome.
