Like their larger and even more powerful siblings, A2 and A5 amplifiers
are muscular in character and musical by nature. They are multi-talented
performers more than capable of supplying the power behind the sonically
demanding aspects of surround-sound home theater, or recreating, with
remarkable finesse and transparency, the ‘immediacy’ of a live music
performance. The secret behind their award-winning performance can be
found in Anthem’s unwavering commitment to state-of-the-art design.
A2 and A5 amplifiers boast: completely modular construction; a four-layer
circuit board topology; mirror-imaged, frequency-response channel
matching; eight bipolar output devices per channel; hand-matched
complementary input devices; massive toroidal power supplies; oversize
convection-cooled aluminum heatsinks; and a no-fuse design strategy.
MULTI-TALENTED PERFORMERS
“… phenomenal … completely transparent in their delivery …
synergy between the Anthem amps and the speakers was incredible
… effortless and very convincing … every nuance is presented
wonderfully—at blistering levels … never showed any signs of
running out of steam …”
– Kris Deering, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity on the A2/A5
“… incredibly versatile and rock solid … I was never even close to
pushing the amp to its limits, while the sound was still clean and
precise … performed flawlessly … amazing clarity and immediacy …
as the bullets seemingly flew around my living room and explosions
were shaking my walls—I was in no danger of running out of gas.”
– Bryan Dailey, AudioVideo Revolution on the A5
“… dead quiet and completely imperturbable … solid as a block of
steel … sound was pure and convincing … everything was rich
and burnished within that deep soundstage … percussive leading
edges and delicate trailing sounds—reproduced beautifully … steady
and unruffled while conveying the full power … a bargain at the
price and highly recommended.”
– Wes Marshall, Home Theater & Sound on the A5
