MONSTER question


I am seriously considering a Monster Power Center HTS 3500 MKII for my theater. I currently have 6 separate hospital grade plugs run to the panel on 6 separate lines (isolated grounds). I believe I have a good power source in the city and am in a newer home.. What I am wondering is if I could have some feedback from people who have really used this unit in their system. I have read and heard pro's and con's in the magazines so I am still not sure what to think. My first response is that Monster is kinda BLAH...

I owned the same conditioner your looking at. Just recently the conditioner malfunctioned and blew my tv, ps3, and dvr. The supposed warranty monster gives on there products is a scam. At first they were going to cover replacement costs on my lost equipment then a week later backed out on that stating that nothing was wrong with the power center I returned to them. But that they were going to send me a new one anyway. After speaking to my attorney Iwas told this is a common game companies will play to cut down on warranty costs. At this point its cheaper for me to replace my equipment then pursue monster. needless to say I'll no longer be using their products. BUYER BEWARE
I don't want to hi-jack this thread but seeing as it is two years old and revived, I thought I'd make one quick comment about Monster.

They do a lot of bullying with their lawyers, they scare off existing and new cable makers all the time claiming their designs were copied and they do not live up to their warranty claims as shown above. That is not the first incident but one of many.

Everything else I wish to say on this topic is not appropriate. Use your imagination. All I can really add is Monster will never see a dime out of my pocket.

You should check out Blue Jeans Cable's website. I believe they took on Monster some time ago and won. They have links on their site detailing what happened.

I feel guilty sometimes when I have purchased Monster ICs and their other products but they were on closeout and the prices were on Monoprice's level. I didn't have to wait for the items to be shipped from CA. I know I supported the dark side but ultimately I was able to save some money and use the funds in other areas.
