Anthem M1 Statement 1 X 1000/WPC Mono Amps - Set of 5

These are a matched set of 5, M1's.  They were used in a reference demo theater.  The M1's are a beautiful theater amplifier since the power is practically limitless.  (Up to 10,000 WPC on demand!).  Its also extremely clean and refined power (read below).  These units were rack mounted but were protected and look new. Includes original boxes, packing, manuals, rack ears, end caps and full warranty.

They are being sold as open box demos, however the buyer will be the first owner so we will start the manufacturers warranty upon your purchase. (Yes, we are an authorized Anthem dealer).

The M1 has an internal heat-pipe cooling system that allows multiple M1s to be stacked without the need for fans or bristling arrays of heatsink fins.  

The M1 has a bridge-mode configuration using MOSFET power transistors, which means that its output is balanced, isolated from ground, and has lower ripple because it effectively doubles the supply ripple frequency and halves its voltage. The M1's power supply operates at 0.4MHz (400kHz), which is, consequently, its native pulse frequency. That frequency is directly modulated by the analog signal with a theoretically infinite time resolution. The resulting pulse-density (not pulse-width) modulated output is claimed to achieve a practical time resolution of 4 nanoseconds (0.000000004s), which is more than an order of magnitude better than that of the DSD coding used on SACD.

The result is ultra efficiency, cool running, and extremely high output with very low distortion.
