My Monster Power Center HTS3500 Has 2 switched outlets, 2 switched and timed outlets, and 4 always on outlets. It has a 12v trigger, or it has a seperate power cord that you can plug into the outlet on the receiver to sense when the receiver is on.

I have my main amp and sub amp on the timed outlets, and my BFD on the switched outlet. That way when the receiver poweres up, the BFD comes on. Then about 5 seconds later the amps come on. That avoids the loud thump in the sub if the BFD is turned on after the sub. Then they turn off in the opposite manner.

It is nice because everything does not power on at once, which could cause a hugh power spike.

The only way to safely double your money is to fold it over once and place it back in your pocket. http://www.cube17576.com
