I am downsizing and its time to say farewell to these old friends. They are in service and work perfectly. I have never driven the amp with anything approaching 100 watts and the pair is acoustically pristine.

It is built using a heavily modified adaptation of Hitachi’s landmark reference circuit. The \u003cstrong\u003eS-6040CP\u003c\/strong\u003e actually offers a beefier power supply and much sturdier, all-metal chassis construction than the Hafler equivalents of its time. When paired with the \u003cstrong\u003eS-6020CP\u003c\/strong\u003e preamplifier, it produces a distinctively lush, warm, and dynamic sonic profile with excellent high-frequency extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ui-heading\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFREE standard shipping to the 48 contiguous United States\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"sherwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45091171500232,"sku":null,"price":996.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/5444\/6280\/files\/PXL_20260526_205654523.jpg?v=1779905430","url":"https:\/\/reticulum.online\/en-ca\/products\/sherwood-s-6020-cp-stereo-preamp-and-c-6040-power-amp-tested-working","provider":"Reticulum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
