{"product_id":"atm-a2-blk-119927","title":"Anthem Statement A2 Stereo Power Amplifier","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnthem builds electronics in Canada, and the Statement A2 is their two-channel reference power amplifier — 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 300 into 4. Anthem rates both channels driven simultaneously, which is how amplifiers actually operate, not the single-channel measurements that make spec sheets look more impressive than the product deserves. The power supply is oversized by design — a large toroidal transformer with sufficient reserve that the amplifier doesn't compress on dynamic peaks the way an undersized supply would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eClass A\/B topology, fully balanced XLR inputs alongside unbalanced RCA. The circuit design is straightforward in the best sense — high-quality components in a layout engineered for stability into difficult loads, not for impressive measurements at easy impedances. Speakers that drop to 2 ohms at certain frequencies and demand current to stay controlled are exactly what the Statement A2 was built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(253, 183, 22);\"\u003e$2,500 MSRP\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Anthem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47682895872137,"sku":"A2 BLK-119927","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4557\/0185\/files\/a2.png?v=1785021178","url":"https:\/\/echohifi.com\/products\/atm-a2-blk-119927","provider":"Echo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
