This listing for US$1,940 is ambitious, sitting well above the typical used market for the Anthem Statement A5 where the median is US$1,508 and the 75th percentile caps at US$1,621. You are paying roughly US$320 to US$440 over the upper end of recent comparable asking prices, so this is not a bargain but a premium ask for an unknown condition.
The Anthem Statement A5 remains a well-regarded five-channel powerhouse delivering 180 watts per channel with incredible low distortion (0.001% THD+N), making it a top choice for serious home theater or multi-room hi-fi. Its meaningful upside lies in its rarity as a used Statement-model unit and its proven ability to drive difficult speakers cleanly; however, given the price is above median and the condition is unknown, you should verify the unit is original-owner, fully functional, and includes all accessories before committing.
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.
