In Reply to: Which Sherwood S-5000? posted by dee eye why on July 26, 2014 at 14:02:40:
First the disclaimer. I have never heard a 7189 S-5000, hence the "partial". Mine is an S-5000 II with 7868 outputs. I have rebuilt and beefed up the power supply and replaced the coupling capacitors.It is also a superb sounding amplifier and to "my ears" combines the best of tube with the cleanliness of solid state. I would think that your speakers would play a huge role in which amp would be best for your situation. The extra power of the II might be beneficial, might not. I don't think you can go wrong in either case. Just my thoughts ...
