is the power that bad in your place that you need a high end line conditioner?

You might want to give these power conditioners a look as well. http://www.furmansound.com/

The Pan EX line has gotten great reviews and you can definitely beat MSRP. I use one in my downstairs system and a diff brand but similar unit upstairs. We don't have a problem with undervoltage/brown outs here, so I didn't go with a UPS type conditioner. Our AC is noisy though, like most.

You might want to do some research on a UPS that provides a Pure Sine Wave output as a lot of systems on the market don't get close and it makes a big difference. The other thing to remember is if you have an open output to an external source your surge protector is useless unless everything that is connected together is protected. Every power input, Coax input, Telco input and Ethernet should be within a walled garden.

This company addresses all of those issues as it is one of the leading providers of this kind of equiptment. Providing your drawings if you have them also helps. http://www.furmansound.com/#

I'm using the Panamax unit that is a step below your proposed model, Eric, and I have no complaints about it. I live in a townhouse, and my power generally comes through clean, but as hot and humid as the summers get here, and everyone blasting their AC, I'm glad I have the Panamax.

You ever get close to a high end stereo speaker that's connected to a good amp? That hum that you normally would hear is gone when you use a power/line conditioner. It also has a battery inside that continually charges and runs whatever's connected to it from the battery, so the fluctuations that screw with sensitive electronics are greatly or completely reduced.

Go to your local Tweeter and ask them to demo one for you.
