I know nothing about Sherwood, so I can't speak to that topic, but I do question the accuracy of saying that Harman Kardon products and Lexicon products come from the same designers. Lexicon was an independent company that was acquired by Harman International; it is one of a collection of companies that are under the umbrella of the Harman Specialty Group, which is a division of Harman International. Harman Kardon is a (or, perhaps more accurately, the central) subsidiary of Harman International. While the knowledge within the Lexicon area would be available to HK engineers in some form (such as the availability of select portions of the Logic7 processing for HK products), it certainly is not a direct link and does not assure that the skilled engineers at Lexicon will assure any aptitude on the part of the HK designers.
