I live in San Francisco, and we rarely have lightning.
My audio system has a couple of big Krell amps, each on it's own dedicated 30 amp line. There are no surge protectors of audio quality that can handle the wattage they draw.
Since, last summer we were told that there would be rolling blackouts (with related surges), I called Krell and they told me the only way to be totally safe was to turn off the circuit breaker when surges were suspected. Luckily we had no outages.
My suggestion to you, unless you keep it on all the time, is to unplug it when not in use or, if feasible, turn off the circuit breaker.
