US$576 is a strong buy for a Statement D2 if it’s complete and working, because this was a US$7,499 flagship processor and clean used examples usually trade far above that on reputation alone. At this number, you’re well into bargain territory rather than “fair price” territory.
What makes it worth grabbing is the old-school Anthem formula: genuinely serious pre/pro sound, robust analog stage, and Anthem ARC room correction, which is still the feature that made these boxes special. It’s a good fit for a dedicated theater or a two-channel-plus-home-theater system where sound quality matters more than the latest HDMI feature set; just make sure the remote, calibration mic, and any needed firmware history/accessories are included, since on a vintage processor those details matter more than cosmetics.
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.
