Ed, thanks for the Jeff's email address. Granite...the r963 has a matrix mode which plays stereo out all 5/7 channels, it's a pain to get to as far as I can tell but if you pull up the OSD and go to the surround menu you can activate it. Evan

I paid $1250 for mine shipped and it's brand new, I'm pretty sure of it. Regardless, I have the two fronts set to large but the center set to small...I'll try setting them all small but sure wish I didn't have to...

Well, I took the plunge and bought the Sherwood R963 even though there were some complaints about the user interface and bass management. I haven't had problems with either of those, but I am concerned about it shutting off on me at high volumes. a little background. I upgraded from a Sony...

Well I slacked off and didn't call the audioguy from Westworld until tonight. They had 1 963 left a day or two ago...but they sold the last one tonight and aren't getting anymore....anyone know where I can get the Sherwood Newcastle 963 for right around that 1050 + shipping price? Evan

woohoo...hadn't heard anything and thought maybe you'd scrapped it or something...anyway, I can wait...I'm patient...really...oh who am I kidding! :D

BenG...so how do you like the R-963? And when is hometheaterhifi ever going to post their review? Seems I've been waiting forever for their review.... Evan

Eric, I've been very interested in this receiver ever since I first read about it. There is SOOOO little info out there about it and I have been waiting with baited breath for the promised review to be posted at hometheaterhifi.com but this hasn't happened yet. The gentleman who is review...

Well thank my lucky stars WAF is not an issue for me :) As for speakers, they will be improved, and at least the two mains will be upgraded shortly. So the Monitor 11's don't impress you? even with the review at hometheaterhifi.com? I really want the studio 60's but we'll see. Any other...

So if I didn't go 7ch to start out with, what would you think of the B&K AV6000 6ch amp, Parasound HCA-1205a OR 1206, Chiro C500, or ATI 1505? Evan

Thanks for the suggestion...that's probably what I SHOULD do...but danged if I'm not a sucker for all the new bells and whistles out there. If I'm going to be dropping a decent sum of cash I feel like I should jump for the latest and greatest so that I can take advantage of it in the...

Ok thanks for all the input everybody. I think I'm leaning toward the Outlaw 950 (any idea when these will be available for purchase?) and the Anthem PVA-7 as my amp. When I do upgrade my speakers I'm leaning heavily toward the Paradigm Monitor 11's or even the Studio 60's. But now I'm...

Ok, so it's definitely time to upgrade. I've got the Video where I want it with my soon to be ISF'd Toshiba 65H80 but my audio consists of a Sony STR-DE835 (yes I was poor and in college at the time) paired with an Energy Take 5 set of surround sound speakers. To make a long story shorter I...

Jeff, Tried to email you this but got a return message from your stereojeff email address. Anyway here's my questions: I am looking for authorized retailers in the Columbus, OH area to take a look at the R-963 receiver. I was also wondering if Sherwood has any online authorized...
