At US$2,749, this Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier is a strong bargain compared to the typical used market, sitting well below the 25th percentile of US$3,000 and nearly US$500 under the median of US$3,250 from recent listings. For buyers weighing a used high-end integrated against new entry-level options, this price delivers audiophile-grade performance at a fraction of the US$4,499–US$4,999 retail cost.
The STR is highly regarded for its 200W per channel power, exceptional Anthem Room Correction (ARC) system, and seamless integration of a high-res DAC and premium phonostage. Its five-year warranty (if still active) and proven reliability make this a rare, low-risk opportunity to grab a top-tier Canadian-made integrated at a genuine discount. With no noted condition issues in the listing, this is a clear buying opportunity for anyone serious about two-channel performance.

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.
