NICE ULTRA CLEAN FULLY SERVICED CONDITION

5 AMPERES, 500 WATTS LABEL High Dynamic Power; High Current Draw

Very nice, low hours, slim heavyweight amplifier; It feels like a stack of bricks when you try to lift it.

This is a bigger sibling of the AD-2210 CP These amps have greatly underrated power, impressive headroom, speed and clarity and offer an incredible value for the price. The Sherwood AD-2220 CP was also manufactured and sold re-badged as LXI AM 4023 for North American market and UHER VG-836 for German/ European market, they are all identical in and out except badge. I have 2 of these amps, both very nice, and the sound is simply fantastic.

WORKS AND SOUNDS LIKE NEW

Basic maintenance service done 02/2023:

* Cleaned and detailed in and out; * All controls/connectors/pots deoxed/lubed, using pro grade D100/G5/F5 ($126/3 cans); * Internal adjustments done to factory specs; * DC offset is below 2 mV L/R * Tested at full power into dummy load * Tested all input; crystal clear very powerful sound
