We’re a big fan of Anthem audio components, as well as it’s sibling Paradigm. Any while a lot of our listing time is spent in the world of surround sound, we still love good, old-fashioned stereo. Here’s a hands-on take of Anthem’s 225 integrated stereo receiver from Digital Trends:
Anthem A/V’s Integrated 225 appears to be just the sort of unpretentious stereo-based solution a new crowd of music fans could get into. It offers a high-quality phono input, a headphone output, a bunch of power, and a sleek, clean design. It costs around $1500 which, compared to some audiophile components, is chump change. But, to those who balk at a $600 iPod speaker dock, $1500 may seem a little far-fetched; especially considering you still need speakers to go with such an amp. Never mind that you can get 7 channels of powerful amplification, built-in media streaming, video upconversion and a whole bunch of other bells and whistles from an A/V receiver at that price.
In our Anthem Integrated 225 review, we take a closer look at this stereo amp’s guts, analyze its performance and discuss whether the Integrated 225 brings enough musical wow factor to the table to convert would-be A/V receiver owners to a purer form of audio religion.
