This is my very first post here so, please be easy on me.
I had a home theater built in the 3rd floor (attic) of my home. Actually I had the walls and structure dome, components go in Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. My questions is about power. I have read a lot about this subject from a lot of sources. I can't really figure out to do. All the home theater installers will tell you that you need to buy one of those Monster Power things (HTS 5100, HTS 3600). But people have told me that these things are useless. My main problem is that I've spent close to $15K in components and I would like some kind of protection. So if I have to spend a couple hundred for piece of mind, so be it. I would like something that protects me from surges, voltage irregularities, and maybe some battery backup (to give me time to power down components) If my components matter here they are:
7.2 Home Theater Setup
Source: Cablevision cable box
Receiver: Pioneer Elite VSX-84TXSi
DVD Player: Pioneer Elite DV79AVi
CD Player: Pioneer Elite PD-F17
Gaming: Playstation 3
Front Speakers: Paradigm Studio 100
Center: Paradigm Studio CC-570
Surrounds: Paradigm Studio ADP-470
Rears: Paradigm Studio ADP-470
Subwoofers: Paradigm Seismic 10
Forgot to add Projector: Mitsubishi HC5000BL
Thanks
