220v / 110v - Anthem STR Power Amplifier

Hello all, I have an Anthem STR Power Amplifier to power my Focal Sopra N2 speakers, and I love it. I live in Miami now but I will be moving to Spain in the next few months. I am told that they cannot do anything to transform my US 110v model to a European 220v model.   So I am wondering if any dealer out there in the US may take mine as a trade in and sell me a new 220v version.. Probably it's hard to get a 220v model in the US... but putting it out there. Thanks!

Don't know your rack seup but the transformer would go behind it totally out of sight.  A good transformer will not add any noise to the electrical signal.

Very easy to use a trasnformer.  Make sure you use an oversized transformer so it doesn't limit current on your amp.  also buy a quality transformer to avoid hum.  figure $500 to $800 but a lot cheaper than trading amps.

Hammond makes a very good transformer. I agree to skip the junk on Amazon.  I'd go with 1000VA at least.
