Tidan Gunslinger Registered: 05/05/14 Posts: 25	I'm trying to decide on a surge protector for my new 975 and 7125. Additionally I have: a 1200 watt sub amp; Sub EQ; DVD player; bluray; HTPC; LCD TV; satellite box. Do you have any suggestions on what I should get? Been scouring monoprice and newegg but theres so many options and I don't know what to get. Thanks!

They are the same circuitry - one company licenses the design from the other one - don't remember which. http://surgex.com/residential.html http://www.brickwall.com/collections/surge-protectors-home-theater-hdtv _________________________ "Do you expect me to talk?"

Tidan Gunslinger Registered: 05/05/14 Posts: 25	The Surgex is pretty pricey! I would go that way but after dropping money on a 975/7125 I'm a little lean on funds. Will the models I chose work okay or is there a foreseable issue?

Given the expense of the system you should look to save up for something that is active in its defense of your system vice being just a passive device. Lightning is a very real threat to our favorite hobby so it always pays to have protection. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

They most likely have MOV's in them and they degrade over time, depending on the number of voltage spikes they receive. _________________________ "Do you expect me to talk?"
