   Is this old and good or some Chinese shit by people who bought   
   out the name? Or does this brand actually continue? Or is this a   
   different Sherwood altogether (like a UK one?)

   No kidding. Throw that piece of crap in the trash and get a CRT   
   for a decent image. Fuck HD and LCDs. (JMHO.)

   No, but I would NEVER spend that much on anything Boston   
   Acoustics makes. You could have done a LOT worse though. It's a   
   decent brand, but a better value with their lower-priced stuff   
   IIRC.

   I do not like subwoofers. They are for gamers and people who   
   like hollywood action shit.   
   I had a subwoofer hooked up along with my Tablettes for a while,   
   and I have been much happier since I removed it.
