Unknown condition makes the price worth verifying, but at US$2,950 this is a strong deal against the available market: it sits below the US$3,088 25th percentile and well under the US$3,225 median. If it powers up cleanly and has no obvious cosmetic or shipping damage, the asking price is firmly bargain territory rather than merely fair.
The P2 remains a serious high-current amplifier, delivering 325 watts per channel into 8 ohms and handling difficult, low-impedance speakers with real authority. Its dual-mono architecture, balanced and single-ended inputs, and generally transparent, unfussy sound make it a particularly attractive match for demanding systems. The practical checks are simple: confirm both channels, inputs, meters, and protection behavior, and make sure safe transport is arranged—this is a very heavy amplifier.
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.
