I have an HTS-2600, it works just fine. noticeble sound improvement, and only runs 350 bucks.
dont let eveyone lead you to believe you need to spend 700 on a power conditioner. Im hoping that 3600 that allowed 270 volts was just a faulty unit. My HTS 2600 did an excellent job of protecting my equipment during a lightning hit.
remember, the whole point of the power is for A Surge protection, and B to clean the power up.
Its more for A than B, Definatly A is more important than B. The power conditioner is just another tweak.
Plus, Monster's customer service if above first rate. If your power supply crapps out, they will send you a new one, once you reciever that, then you return your old one.
If you buy opne from Ultimate Electronics, SoundTrack, or Audioking, they are distributers and if it craps out you can swap it out for a free new one. I swapped out one that lost its stage 2 circuitry (i assume from the lightning) about 2 years after i bought it, no questions asked.
Also, if a surge frys your equipment while it is protected by monster power, they will replace up to about $40,000.00 of equipment.
So as long as your rig doesent pass the 40k mark, if it gets fried, you get all new gear.
hows that for protection????
