This US$899 asking price for a used Anthem Statement D2 7.2 is a strong bargain, sitting well below the typical used market range of roughly US$2,500–US$3,000 for functional units in good condition. While Australian listings for the newer D2v 3D hover around US$530–US$660, the original D2 7.2 commands higher value in the US market due to its proven legacy and THX Ultra2 certification, making this listing an exceptional deal for the price point.
The Statement D2 remains well-regarded for its mind-blowing sound quality, robust analog-to-digital converters, and the inclusion of Anthem’s highly regarded ARC room correction system. It excels as a pure 7.1 surround processor with support for high-res codecs like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, offering a level of performance that rivals contemporary Classé and Krell units. At this price, it’s a buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a top-tier pre-pro without the modern markup, assuming the unit is functional and includes basic accessories.

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.
