The Statement D2 is Anthem's flagship high-quality audio/video processor that competes with high-end $10K+ models for a fraction of the price (retails for $6699). The D2 features the Gennum GF9350 VXP digital imaging processor designed to improve all video sources. All of its inputs, whether they be 408i composite all the way up to component and HDMI can be upconverted to a high-quality 1080p output. They claim significant improvements to image quality on low resolution input sources. This video transcoding allows for simple switching between all of your video input sources (4 HDMI, 4 Component, 7 S-Video, 7 RCA).

I want this pretty freakin bad. There are a few problems though: 1) I don't have that kind of disposable income, 2) I would need a serious TV upgrade, 3) I would need a serious speaker upgrade. Wait, those aren't problems! I can't speak for this receiver myself, but I've been a huge fan/evangelizer of their Canadian sister company Paradigm for their amazing speakers. I have Paradigm Mini Monitors, and, basically, will only buy Paradigm here on in. I just found out about Anthem today, and their line of audio/video processors got me excited.

Hello,

I am about to buy a D2. I am living in a foreign country where its price is calculated based on the lowest retail price available in the USA + taxes.
Can somebody help me out here and tell me what is the lowest "real" official retail price available in the USA?

Thank you
