Does anyone own or know how this receiver is? For the money is it worth it?

It's a clone of the pre snap EQ Sherwood R965. Onecall is blowing them out since BA was bought up by Denon/Marantz. If I could apply the snap eq to the BA, I'd jump on it now. -
Thats where I saw it at. So is it worth the money and should I buy a 1st year product? Any reviews other then HT magazine?Comment

It's a Sherwood R965 thru and thru which means a killer power supply but lacks the current hot features such as a room EQ which I find to be a need now that I've used one. It's a helluva deal if you don't want what's current.
All the specs on it are on the sherwoodusa website under R965 except you need to ignore the Snap EQ.Comment

It offers a lot of power, but it is pretty lacking in regards to bass management.Comment

According to the specs it has a room eq with microphone for set up. Is this not the same as what you said?Comment

Braminator,
I'm personally, always leary of 1st year products, whether it be hardware or software. It usually takes approximately 6 months-1 year to work out the glitches/bugs. Just my $0.02, of course YMMV.
Best regards,

braminator - it has auto setup, but not autoEQ. Auto setup (which is what the Outlaw 990 has), means it will set distances, speaker size, channel levels, and possibly crossover for you, but it will not EQ its output for room correction.Comment

Well, I just got off the phone with Boston. They said they are not replacing the unit. They are getting out of the electronics business because they don't want to compete with themselves since being bought out by Denon/Marantz. I think this changed my mind on buying it but it is such a good deal IMO.Comment

It's a calibration mic to set the speakers up but does not do room EQ'ing.Comment

Ok.....
Here's the deal. I've pretty much settled on a 7.1, 50wpc receiver to start the whole HT thing. Fortunately my fiancee is going to continue building the HT scene, allowing me to invest significantly on my hi-fi.

I've had several listening sessions with my new Aerial Acoustics 7B speakers and wanted to report on my impressions. One caveat: I'm not a professional equipment reviewer!
Environment: My HT/music room is being completely redone so there is plastic painters' sheeting... -
I recently had the opportunity to listen to my speakers (Boston VR3) at a dealer in his theater room (Approx 8m x 5m). The amp we used was a much older version of mine (RX-V1300) which was a RX-V800. It was incredible to hear these same speakers that is in my house perform at a level that i've never... -
Boston's lead singer Brad Delp died suddenly at his home, alone. No details other than that, and the band says the world just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll. I remember well that studio album Boston when it came out in the 70s. It was powerful, it was extremely well mixed, and it was a huge...
