The new Sherwood Newcastle R-963 should be available in the US at this time and i am looking for opinions on this receiver.
In Europe we have to wait a bit longer.
I can pre-order it for the equivalent of $900,-
At about this price I can also get the Onkyo 797 (1100,-) , Denon 3802 (850,-), H/K AVR7000 (european model 900,-) and Yamaha 2200 (1000,-).
The retail price for the SN R-963 is $1999,- in the US and as far as I know by far the highest retail for any receiver I mentioned.
To me it seems like it is a bargain, but how does it compare to the receivers I mentioned above.
The SN has the best remote I guess with the Home Theater Master MX-500 (or MX-1000) and a second remote for a Second Room.
It looks like it has a lot of power, especially the dynamic power:
7 x 120 Watts into 8 Ohms (
