This Sherwood S-7210 also arrived with the Tannoy Mercury Gold M20 and the Marantz Model 28 yesterday. This is my third Sherwood's receiver that I have come across, the other two were the S-7200 and the S7100A.
Although exactly the same frontal appearance as the Sherwood S-7200, this model was rated at 26WPC versus the S-7200 36WPC. Perhaps the difference was the Quadraphonic or Dynaquad 4 channel stereo that was being marketed at the time, really all it was was two pairs of speakers.
Anyway, the build quality of the Sherwood S-7XXX line is outstanding and the sound is really great for early solid state gear. As I have posted before on this blog, Sherwood receivers often get over looked for the Pioneer, Sansui and others which make these units incredible bargains in the vintage hifi world. Early Sherwoods are worth seeking out if the likes of Marantz, Pioneer and others become less value for the money.
