This is one special amp. It has been my primary amp for the last 8 months and I am the second owner. It is based on EL84 tubes and 25 watts per channel with speaker taps for 4 or 8 ohms (I ran in 8)
Here is a link to the manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/451929/Anthem-Integrated-1.html

In short, this amp was made in 1995 by Chris Johnson and Sonic Frontiers. They really made some great stuff like preamps and integrated amps that are Made in Canada and developed kind of a cult following. Sonic Frontiers no longer exists and it is not PartsConnexion which is still owned by Chris Johnson. In case you ever need repairs or want to make upgrades, he is easy to get ahold of.
I have had this amp serviced and upgraded by Chris Johnson himself. (I have $600 invested alone in repairs and upgrades!) It is really a sweet sounding amp. I just had the opportunity to upgrade to a Raven Audio Osprey. Let me tell you though, it almost touches a $4000 amp! I will include an extra matched quad of EL84 power tubes and it will ship in the original box with manual. This is a great amp if you are interested in hearing the magic of tubes. It does not have a phono stage, but can be upgraded to include one or you can use your own stand alone phono pre.
Here are the repairs and upgrades I had done:
New power tubes (repair) New power switch (repair) Changed all the cathode resistors and a screen power supply mod fro each power tube (repair and upgrade)
Upgrades to 6 key coupling caps (upgrade) Upgrades to 6 main power supply electrolytic caps (upgrade) AC power fuse (upgrade)
Shipping will be $60 to the CONUS.
