Anthem A2/A5

Just like their larger and more powerful siblings, the remarkable A2 and A5 amplifiers are muscular in character and musical by nature.

They are multi-talented performers, supplying the power behind physically demanding surround-sound home-theater one moment, then retrieving with remarkable finesse and transparency, the immediacy of a live music performance the next.
