The US$1,250 asking price for this used Anthem Statement A2 is slightly ambitious but remains within the upper band of the current market, sitting just above the 75th percentile of US$1,174 and well above the median of US$1,125. Based on four recent comparable listings, the typical range is US$1,100 to US$1,174, so this listing costs roughly US$76 more than the top quartile and US$125 over the median. It is not a bargain, but it is not egregiously overpriced if the condition is pristine.
The Statement A2 is a respected stereo powerhouse delivering 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, sharing the robust transformer of the five-channel A5 for exceptional dynamic control and low distortion. Its worth comes from this high-current stability and the legendary Anthem build quality that makes it a long-term keeper for serious two-channel systems. If this unit is original-owner, fully tested, and includes the remote and power cord, the modest premium over market median is justified for a clean, high-performance amplifier that rarely needs replacement.

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.
