I don’t know how long they’ve been doing it, but I just noticed that Axiom is selling Sherwood Newcastle gear.

maybe a month or so, one time i called them looking for a receiver that could push a 4ohm load and they recommended newcastle stuff and even said that they may start to carry it i just ended getting a vsx84txsi with a behringer a500 amp for the mains

Sherwood Newcastle

I've been seeing this brand mentioned on this and other forums, and I'm curous about the name. Sherwood has been a brand that was in the same league as Yorx and Soundesign. I just saw a 7.1 AVR in the latest Best Buy for $129, Back in the '80s they made those cardboard/particleboard "rack" systems that were so popular with people who thought you could get a good system for $250 at Sears. Please tell me that this isn't the same outfit!

It is, but they have different levels of quality. They manufacture, to spec, other companies products. This includes Receivers, DVD players and other audio/video devices.

Hey watch it! That was my first stereo man. A Soundesign with a genu-ine built in 8 Track!

As I recall in the 70's they were somewhere in between Soundesign and Pioneer/ Kenwood.

Yes, but my Soundesign had 8-track, and a diamond needle on the turntable. And, don't forget the chrome dust covers. Moved up to Panasonic Thrusters.

I actually used Sherwood separates in the 80's. Smoked the amp. Still have the EQ in the shop with my old Onkyo Pro Logic receiver. Made in Korea stamped on the back of my Sherwood gear.

Sorry, man, didn't mean insult anybody (cough)(LOSER)(cough). In truth, my first stereo was a Mongomery Ward Airline console. Couldn't afford the model with the 8-track. Most of us here came from pretty humble beginnings

Sherwood America is the line you'll find in the likes of BB. The Newcastle line has received good reviews.
