Anthem has long been respected for blending engineering precision with real-world performance, and the Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier (STRDA) is a perfect example of that philosophy. Recently recognized by Stereophile as a Class A Recommended Component, the STR DA stands among the top-performing integrated amplifiers available today.
At High Def Technologies Inc., we see the Anthem STR as a rare product that delivers true audiophile sound, advanced room correction, and system flexibility—without compromise.
While many integrated amplifiers focus purely on analog signal paths, the Anthem STR DA takes a more holistic approach. It is designed for listeners who demand exceptional sound quality and want their system to perform flawlessly in real rooms.
Key highlights include:
Robust high-current amplification for excellent speaker control
High-resolution digital-to-analog conversion
Anthem’s acclaimed ARC Genesis Room Correction, tailored specifically for two-channel listening
This combination is what sets the STR DA apart—and why it continues to earn praise from both reviewers and professional installers.
Room acoustics play a massive role in how a system sounds, yet they’re often ignored in traditional stereo setups. The Anthem STR DA addresses this head-on with ARC Genesis, one of the most respected room correction platforms available today.
Benefits include:
Improved bass accuracy and control
Better tonal balance at realistic listening levels
Consistent performance across different seating positions
Rather than changing the character of the amplifier, ARC Genesis helps reveal what your speakers and electronics are already capable of—just optimized for your space.
The Anthem STR DA is equally at home in a purist stereo system or a professionally integrated environment. From a custom-installation perspective, it offers:
Comprehensive digital and analog connectivity
System triggers for clean power sequencing
Excellent long-term reliability
Seamless pairing with external streamers and control systems
This makes it an ideal choice for clients who want reference-level stereo performance integrated into a Control4, Crestron, or Savant ecosystem.
Stereophile’s Class A category represents products that deliver exceptional performance without meaningful compromise. The Anthem STR DA’s inclusion reflects its ability to compete with far more expensive separates while offering practical advantages that real listeners appreciate.
For discerning music lovers, this recognition reinforces the STR DA as a long-term investment—not just an impressive spec sheet.
Whether you’re designing a high-performance two-channel system or integrating premium audio into a larger smart home, High Def Technologies Inc. can help you get the most out of the Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier.
