At USD2,899, this STR Integrated is fairly priced for the used market, landing smack in the sweet spot of typical resale values between USD2,500 and USD3,500—well below its original USD4,500 MSRP. It's no fire sale, but solid for a flagship with 200Wpc into 8 ohms, ARC room correction, and that stellar MM/MC phono stage if it's in good shape.
Buyers should verify the age and service history, as these Canadian beasts from around 2018 can see capacitor wear or ARC software glitches after heavy use—ask for proof of recent recap or firmware updates. Confirm the IR remote, power cord, and original box are included, and test all inputs, especially the shielded phono section for hum-free vinyl spin.
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.
