Overview
ANYTHING BUT AVERAGE
Unlocking the incredible sound sculptures, special effects and dynamics
of today’s home theater and music recordings is no small feat, at
least for the average amplifier. But then, Anthem’s PVA 2, PVA 5 and
PVA 7 amplifiers are anything but average. They are equally at home
delivering all of the thundering impact and excitement of a surround
sound movie experience as they are imparting the subtle nuances of
a multichannel music performance, or paying rich sonic tribute to
the sweeping highs and lows of your favorite stereo recording.
They are worldclass overachievers, able to withstand the scrutiny of
direct comparisons, both sonically and in build quality, with amplifiers
costing several times as much! They are, by a wide margin, the best
value high-end amplifiers available.
