Datasheet

In life we admire “heart.” When we say someone has heart we mean
passion, spirit, fortitude. And we applaud it. While the amplifier is the
brawn behind every successful music and movie presentation, it is also
the heart! Its role is as crucial as that of the speakers in its ability to
render delicate musical detail one moment and deliver room-shaking
explosions the next. The most exquisite piece of music falls flat without
clean, quiet power to sustain it through to its natural, musical ebb.
Movie special effects require an inordinate supply of stable, high-
current power to give visceral credibility to the “special” aspect of each
effect! In fact, all truly successful sound reproduction requires “heart.”
The heart of an amplifier rests with its design and it is here that P2 and P5
amplifiers reveal their high-end lineage: multi-layered, hand-designed
circuit boards with thick copper traces; rugged, independent power
supplies with tuned toroidal power transformers for each amplifier channel;
fourteen rugged bipolar output devices per channel; custom-designed
convection-cooled heatsinks with serrated fins; a “no-fuse” design strategy.
And the list goes on.
PERFORMANCE FROM THE HEART
“… multichannel audio of the highest order … sound was big and bold
… immediate and real … totally enveloping … incredibly tight and
defined … bass notes were powerful, seeming to reach down lower
than I had ever heard … razor-sharp imaging, dynamics, and all the
other hallmarks of a true high-end amplifier … a level of performance
far beyond what is normally available at this price.”
– Roger Kanno, Home Theater & Sound on the P5
“The P5 has a tendency to leave you somewhat speechless … such
enormous performance and value for the dollar that it has to be
auditioned … Anthem has totally hit a home run.”
– Manoj Motwani, HDTVetc.
“The P2 rules … beautiful power … incisive … crisp and articulate
… exceptionally neutral … delivering the subtleties, nuances and
harmonic delicacies — without editorializing … seriously slamming
bass … set to redefine the concept of value in the audiophile world.”
– Jason Thorpe, SoundStage!
