US$2,999 looks fair to strong, not cheap, for this amp; new it was around US$4,999, so this ask lands at roughly 60% of retail for a serious five-channel Statement piece.
What makes it worthwhile is the genuinely high-end build: 325 Wpc into 8 ohms, 500 Wpc into 4 ohms, balanced and unbalanced inputs, and dual power-cord/dual-circuit capability that speaks to real current delivery. Anthem’s Statement line has a good reputation for big, controlled home-theater sound, so if the accessories are complete and the unit has been cared for, this is a sensible buy for someone wanting true muscle without jumping into ultra-luxury pricing.
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.
