RE: What stereo and speaker are these in the show Mad Men

Charlie
The S-5000-2 is a lot different than your S-5000.Your amp uses 7189 tubes as opposed to 7868s,your amp is Ultra linear as opposed to semi pentode,your amp uses a nice 7199s which are triode-pentodes to drive the output stage as opposed to a 12AX7,and last but not least,you have a five tube preamp section as opposed to four tubes.
The S-5000 2 is decent but nowhere the performance of your Sherwood with the mods I did to it because you would have to redesign the unit.
