Would you be happy if this turned into a true reference-grade pre/pro for US$250? That’s way below what a Statement D2 normally trades for on the used market, where asking prices have historically sat in the very high hundreds to low thousands of USD depending on condition and accessories; at this level it reads as a bargain if it powers up and passes audio/video correctly.
What makes it worth chasing is the D2’s still-impressive core: Anthem’s respected room-correction implementation, robust build, balanced outputs, and a full spread of legacy digital and analog I/O that suits a serious multichannel or classic-hi-fi setup. The main upside is getting flagship-era Anthem performance for pocket change; at this age, I’d just confirm remote, HDMI switching, display health, and that it’s not stuck needing service, because that’s the difference between a steal and a project.
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.
