Anthem Statement D2v Preamplifier/Processor is a RESI Award Finalist

Anthem is proud to announce the Anthem Statement D2v's nomination as a finalist for the Residential Systems RESI Award crediting the most innovative industrial designs of products in the custom installation industry

According to Jeremy Glowacki, editorial director of Residential Systems, "In our sixth year of honoring the best industrial designs in the CEDIA channel, I couldn't be happier with our finalists...These products demonstrate that ergonomics, intuitive functionality, and elegance of design do not need to be compromised in a down economy."

The D2v was nominated in the best AV Processor/Receiver category. According to a NewBay media press release, each category winner will be announced at the 2009 Resi Awards reception, held at 5 p.m., during CEDIA EXPO in Atlanta, Georgia, September 9, 2009, in Room C205 (next to the press room) of the Georgia World Congress Center.

More information about the Anthem Statement D2v can be found on our website.

We've dedicated thousands of hours developing this product and based on early feedback from press and end-users, it's become the industry's flagship A/V processor. A RESI combined with a CEDIA Manufacturers Excellence Award would only cement that reputation so we look forward to representing in Atlanta.

Anthem Integrated 225 Amplifier Review - "Steel Fist in a Velvet Glove"

In what might be our favorite headline to a review ever, esteemed AVguide.com and Absolute Sound reviewer Chris Martens captures the essence of the Integrated 225 with the gripping statement comparing the amplifier to a "Steel Fist in a Velvet Glove."

In his conclusion, Martens offers this take:

"Consider this amplifier if: you want an amp characterized by a robust, full-bodied sound that is, at the same time, beautifully controlled, refined, open, and full of finesse. And man, is this thing ever powerful; you can wade into challenging sonic territory (yep, Gustav Mahler, we’re talking about you) that would make lesser amps fold up and collapse, secure in the knowledge that the Anthem Integrated 225 will back you up every step of the way."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
