I have heard a Sherwood 5000 integrated, it is a beautiful sounding amp, a friend of mine has one. Not as much detail as his custom 2A3 mono blocks but still an amp you could listen to all day.

Is the Sherwood rebuilt and upgraded..I'm putting finishing touches on one for a friend New Orleans and this is the larger one and I can tell you with the right rebuild,it runs with many of the new amps in the 3500 to 5k dollar range..Airtime knows.

Mike's right, you're not getting much better than a properly rebuilt Sherwood.
I just bought a $2300 tubed preamp for my Solid State amplifier. And the Sherwood STILL!!!! holds its own against it.

I don't know any of the details of my friends Sherwood 5000. I will ask next time.
One of his custom 2A3 amps blew up so we put the Sherwood on. I am guessing it is all stock, seemed like the perfect cocktail party amp, very smooth and beautiful sound but did not demand your attention like the 2A3 mono amps.
And they do not blow up, another advantage.

LOL!!!
I've been on the audio wheel a LONG time. And I would have to say that there is nothing like a well restored Sherwood S-5000.
But check out some options that you see going up for sale and post. I would wait out a Sherwood.
