Statement P-2

About the Statement P-2

The Anthem Statement P-2 is a powerful two-channel Class AB power amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking high fidelity and robust power delivery. It produces 325 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 500 watts into 4 ohms, and 675 watts into 2 ohms, making it capable of driving demanding speaker loads with ease. The amplifier features an edge-of-the-art multi-mono design where each channel is self-contained on its own glass-epoxy circuit board and heatsink with an independent power supply, eliminating crosstalk and ensuring superb channel matching. It employs a proprietary cascoded complementary feedback input stage with hand-matched low-noise bipolar devices for exceptional linearity and bandwidth. The P-2 uses a "no fuse" design with circuit breakers on the AC line and advanced load monitoring to protect the amplifier without compromising signal integrity. Its massive toroidal transformers and convection-cooled serrated aluminum heatsinks provide stable, quiet, and efficient operation without fans. Inputs include balanced XLR and single-ended RCA, with a damping factor greater than 600 at 20 Hz. The amplifier weighs 75 lbs (34 kg) and measures approximately 9.4" H x 19.25" W x 22.5" D. It is built in North America with high-quality materials including a brushed aluminum faceplate and heavy-gauge steel chassis. The P-2 is praised for its incisive, crisp, and articulate sound with exceptional neutrality and dynamic power, suitable for both music and home theater applications.
