I'm not familiar with "Sherwood Newcastle"....after going to their site, it struck me how MUCH the line looks similar to, AND specs out like......Yamaha.

Nah, they've been around for a long time. I don't see the similarity, though. Maybe superficially, in that they have knobs and doors on the high end ones, but if you look at the other products, they look nothing like the Yammies.

Their site said that they have been making products for many familiar name brand audio companies, I just thought...........anyway, they look good to me, and I am sure that they will be a good match for Axiom's line, (including their flagship speaker.........the M60).

I had a look at Sherwood Newcastle R-972 I am getting really confused now, when I was ready to pull the trigger for Rotel RSX-1057 !! What do I do?!! Besides, I have not been around this board for a while: wasn't Axiom supposed to come up with amps/receivers?

So where is information about this merger, I don't see anything on the link posted?
In regards to Axiom amps, not receivers, as far as I know they are still in design status by Tom and company.

I just read this from the Rotel forum:
.... I understand from the info that Kevin brought back from CES that there are no commercially available chipsets for hdmi1.3 that offer any real advantage over 1.1 at the moment and so the Denon and Sherwood Newcastle products are little more than mock-ups or 'statements of intent' at this stage .I guess Rotel could have shown a box that looked similar to the 1068 but with hdmi terminals and logos
on the front with DTS-HD and the like but the internal components just aren't available yet and this we were told is why Rotel didn't show any product.....

>>and the Sherwood newcastle R-771 is in my living room ready to be hooked up
I can't believe he's had the speakers & receiver for a week and hasn't hooked them up yet. I'm going over there tomorrow night to rip all the boxes open...
