This US$949 asking price for the Anthem Statement D2 is a bargain, sitting far below the typical used market where the estimated median in 2026 is roughly US$475 (437 €) and listings often range higher for clean units. While the original retail was US$7,499 and later D2v upgrades pushed toward US$9,500, the D2’s aging HDMI 1.1 spec means it lacks modern 4K/HDR, yet at this price it is an incredible entry into high-end multichannel processing.
The D2 remains well-regarded for its reference-quality sound, low noise floor, and the inclusion of Anthem’s highly effective ARC room correction system, which still delivers superior imaging today. Its upgraded AKM DACs and dual DSP engines provide mind-blowing sound quality that rivals far newer processors, making this a smart buy for a theater built on acoustic performance rather than video passthrough. Unless the unit has missing accessories or failed HDMI ports, this is a top-tier buying opportunity for enthusiasts who value audio purity over video specs.
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.
