Good Points: powerful amplifier (130W RMS) packed with lots of features and very user friendly
Bad Points: not the most powerful amp in the world but at 130w rms it is surprisingly powerful! It is also quite heavy due to the built in fm tuner
General comments: the sherwood rx-4030R is a lovely amplifier, rated at 130w rms it can really pack a punch! it has seperate dials for bass, treble and balance, which is really convenient in comparison to similar ones which you have to operate by holding down buttons. The amp also has two speaker systems: System A and System B which you can switch between at the press of a button. The volume knob is motorized so when you change the volume on the remote control, its moves itself and there is a little l.e.d light on the knob which tells you where the volume is at if it is dark. It has a built in FM tuner which is really handy considering the fact that you dont have to go out and buy one seperately. The inputs on the back are as follows: CD, TV, Phono, Tape Monitor. I have found these 4 inputs are enough for what i use it for. I have my turntable on the phono, dvd player on the tv port, and my cd player on the cd input. I have a pair of aural envelope ex300 floorstanding speakers (which i have reviewed on this site) wired onto system A of the amplifier. It really drives the speakers well. The bass is punchy and well controlled plus the treble is smooth and balanced. Overall the sound is amazing and iv'e never turned them up to more than half way volume which becomes absolutely blasting! I only paid 40 pounds for the sherwood rx-4030R second hand from a shop called cash generator. I have owned this amplifier now for around 3 months and have not been disappointed once. If you are on a budget and want a dependable, powerful amplifier then i suggest 100% that you purchase it.
