i have not personally tried them yet, but given your requirements, i would check out the bpt cpc. i believe you can order one with surge protection but no filtering.
i am changing my system soon and will need a new power device, and they are who i am looking at calling myself.
they are very well reviewed and are available with a trial period if you don't take advantage of the lower audiogon pricing.
i agree, however, that anything you put between your system and the wall will probably change the sound somehow, though often for the better. also, with bpt you can upgrade things like outlets to your taste to try to minimize the change in sound quality.
