** Digital Ear is an authorized dealer of the Revel Loudspeakers product line.
For more than a decade Sonic Frontiers International has manufactured award-winning high-end components. Sonic Frontiers™ and Anthem™ products are used internationally at all levels of music reproduction: in homes and recording studios as well as in professional broadcasting. Europe 1, France’s national radio station, uses three Sonic Frontiers D/A converters atop the Eiffel Tower, while NASA uses a Sonic Frontiers power amplifier in its Space Shuttle testing facility in Key Largo, Florida.
Our reputation in both analog and digital design is legendary and our products have received numerous awards, and acclaim in the best-known magazines. In the USA Stereophile magazine has praised us with numerous “Class A” recommendations and honored us with their coveted “Digital Component of the Year” award.
Our original goal was to create a high-end product without the high-end price. Our success is reflected in an award-winning product line that continues to set new, high-end reference standards of performance, regardless of price.
Statement A2 & A5 – Muscular in character. Musical by nature.
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.
So what lies behind the remarkable high-end performance of A-Series amplifiers. The answer is in our commitment to state-of-the-art design. A2 and A5 amplifiers enjoy completely modular construction; highly refined four-layer circuit board topology; a minimum number of parts in the signal path, and those of only the highest quality; eight bipolar output devices per channel; mirror-imaged frequency-response channel matching; hand-matched complementary input devices; massive toroidal power supplies; oversize convection-cooled aluminum heatsinks; and a no-fuse design.
As Anthem™ Statement creations, A2 and A5 amplifiers are fundamentally more revealing, display an even greater degree of musical precision and deliver extraordinary resolution for both music and movies.
