At US$1,100, this Anthem Statement A2 is a clear bargain compared to the obvious alternative of paying US$1,125 (the median) or more for comparable used units. The asking price sits right at the 25th percentile of US$1,100, making it a strong deal for a stereo power amplifier that delivers 225W per channel into 8Ω and scales impressively to 535W into 2Ω.
The Statement A2 remains well-regarded for its massive transformer, clean power delivery, and ability to drive difficult speakers without compression, a trait noted in its 200W-per-channel rating when only two channels are driven. For a fellow enthusiast, this listing offers genuine upside: you’re getting a flagship-era Anthem with proven performance at a price that rewards the buyer immediately, not the seller. No caveats apply here—this is a buying opportunity.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Anthem traces its roots to the 1990s in Canada, emerging from the acclaimed Sonic Frontiers, a brand celebrated for its no-compromise high-fidelity components crafted by dedicated engineers and audiophiles. In 1998, Paradigm acquired Sonic Frontiers, including Anthem, marking a pivotal shift toward innovative home theater electronics while preserving the pursuit of pure, unadulterated sound. This heritage of passion fused with scientific precision defines Anthem's enduring Canadian legacy.
The brand excels in premium amplification and processing, renowned for AV receivers like the MRX series, high-end processors such as the AVM line, and MCA power amplifiers. These products integrate proprietary technologies, including Anthem Room Correction (ARC), the pioneering room optimization system born from advanced research. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, Anthem's focus on electronics delivers reference-level performance tailored for discerning home theater and hi-fi setups.
Anthem holds a commanding position in the high-end market, topping charts as the leading brand for home theater preamps/processors with 30% share and ranking fourth in AV receivers at 31%. Repurchased in 2019 by Paradigm co-founder Scott Bagby and his brother John, restoring original stewardship, Anthem embodies premium Canadian engineering—reliable, innovative, and free of excess—for knowledgeable buyers seeking world-class audio without compromise.
