My dealer also told me that the 8200 and 9200 were a completely different line from the lower models - different factory, higher quality parts, etc. So he was confident that the 7200 problems would not show up in those models. Hearing them back-to-back, the 8200 sounded significantly better to...
Mine's on back order from J&R right now. When I ordered last Saturday, the salesman said there were six others back-ordered also. Their standard answer is 7 to 10 days to ship, but I don't think they really know.
I just ordered my Panasonic RP-91. Of course it's on back order (from J&R), so I don't know when I'll see it. But I want to be ready. I have 3 pairs of BetterCables that I can use for the DVD-Audio setup. Question is, do I also need an optical cable (toslink) for regular DVD use? Also, any...
I just bought "Grippers" by Waxman from my local supermarket (Fred Meyer) to go under the back of my center channel. They are 3/4" diameter self-stick disks, so you can stack them to get the height you want. If even says "great for stereos" on the package! Probably the cheapest upgrade I will...
While I'm patiently waiting for the Sherwood 963 to become available, I've been looking into the Marantz SR-8200. I stumbled onto Cyberteria.com where it is listed for $930. That seems rather unbelievable to me. I called and they don't have it yet, but 'expect it in the next few weeks'. They...
In watching Enterprise tonight on UPN in Seattle, I noticed way too much center channel sound (dialog) coming out of the right front speaker. The front left was OK. Other TV channels seem to be fine. I thought it might be my old Pro-Logic receiver getting confused, but now I'm not so sure.
Thank you all for your opinions, and thank you to Jeff from Sherwood USA for responding to my post and to my E-mail. I think I just may wait for the 963. It's going to be hard not having my new 25-31PC hooked up to anything for a few weeks however. Oh well, hopefully it will be worth it.

I was all ready to order an Onkyo 898 receiver ($1100) when I started reading and hearing about the Sherwood R-963. The sherwood looks great (base management, etc), but I'm wondering about the availability and the price. I know the list is 2K, but does anyone have an educated guess as to what...
Long time listener, first time caller. I'm ready to upgrade my HT audio, and hopefully stimulate the economy. I currently have an old Yamaha Pro Logic receiver (RXV-850) along with a Carver 2 channel THX amp. My front speakers are B&W 600i's, while my rears are Def Techs. My plan is to...
