This $2,499 USD listing for the Anthem AVM 70 15.2 is a strong deal, sitting well below the typical used market where comparable units trade between $2,500 and $2,990 USD. While one Audiogon listing matches this price at $2,500 USD OBO, another Reverb listing shows a “like new” unit at $2,990 USD, making your target price clearly below the 25th percentile of current used values.
The AVM 70 is a highly regarded 15.2-channel preamp/processor praised for its ARC Genesis room correction, support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Pro, and modern streaming features like AirPlay 2 and Chromecast. It handles 4K/60Hz and is HDMI 2.1-upgradeable for 8K, offering serious future-proofing. At this price, it’s a compelling buying opportunity for anyone building or upgrading a high-end home theater, especially if the unit is in clean, original-owner condition with accessories intact.

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.
