A High-end, Very Powerful Acoustic Chameleon Vision of the Modern HiFi Amplifier

[Translated] It delivers a very clean sound. Its power level is particularly rare and this power is expressed with superb mastery. You can push the volume very hard without fear of strident in the treble and the low register shines as much by its density, its firmness, as by its great flexibility and readability.

Review: Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier

[Translated] ... you hear great resolution, you look at a huge stage, you are aware that it pulls details out of the record, sovereignly holds the dynamic range and is not scattered to the extremes and most importantly, you can listen to it for hours without effort.

Stereophile Recommended Component 2019: Class A

Even before setting up and trying ARC, TJN enjoyed the Anthem STR for sounding, with one recording in particular, "punchy and likely true to the source, with excellent detail and an open midrange." With ARC engaged, TJN heard differences that "ranged from subtle to striking . . . and were only rarely inconsequential." Benefits included a "cleaned up" double-bass sound on one CD, greater upper-bass precision in the sounds of massed voices on another. His conclusion: "a watershed product worth serious consideration." Writing of his experiences in measuring the Anthem STR, JA called it "a well-engineered amplifier offering high powers and respectable measured performance.

Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier Review

Anthem’s STR Integrated amplifier brings the benefits of the company’s excellent ARC room correction processing to a stereo-only component. And not just any stereo-only component, but a powerful, feature-packed unit with a 200 watts-per-channel amp, a DSD-compatible DAC, and separate moving magnet and moving coil phono inputs.

Review: Anthem STR Integrated - stereo with room correction [Dutch]

[Translated] The special feature of the STR Integrated is that it is no-nonsense at the same time and is still packed with useful technology. The sleek, undercooled appearance conceals that this Anthem contains functions that you do not often find elsewhere - and which are really useful.

Recommended Reference Component: Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier-DAC

Vinyl isn’t the only audio sector that’s resurging these days -- integrated amplifiers, too, are back in style. But today, those who demand integrateds want much more than a preamp and power amp in a single box. They want not only the high power and sound quality of separate components, but also lots of features, digital and analog. Enter Anthem’s STR integrated amplifier-DAC ($4499 USD), which Roger Kanno reviewed for SoundStage! Hi-Fi last month. As Roger learned, the STR gives up little to separates in terms of power output and sound quality -- and its feature set can’t be matched by most other integrateds, or even separates.

Anthem Electronics STR D/A integrated amplifier

Most well-designed integrated amplifiers on today's market go about their jobs as such products always have, without altering a system's response in any significant way. That's fine, and one of them might be just right for your system and room. But despite the current popularity of analog, particularly vinyl, there are things that can be done with digital processing, particularly when performed at high enough bit and sampling rates to satisfy the never-CDers, that we've never been able to accomplish in the analog domain. In that regard, the Anthem STR is a watershed product worth serious consideration. Highly recommended.

Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier-DAC

I can’t overstate how impressed I was by the execution of its overall design. In my years as an audio reviewer, the STR Integrated is one of the most impressive examples of a fully fledged audio product I’ve come across.
