Digital camera reviews of Monster Home Theatre Reference HTS 2600 MKII PowerCenter with Clean Power Stage 2 v.2.1 10
Digital camera Review: Great Product...lights a little annoying.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great product that is a must have for any A/V system. Cheap insurance against power anomalies that can be damaging to any piece of electronic equipment. By the way...it will not improve the picture sound quality like some say.
The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because the lights on the front panel are quite bright and distracting. They should have used dimmer lighting or had a dimming feature. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of.
Digital camera Review: Great product great price!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Cedia electrician i see panamax, and tripplite a lot most custom guys bash monster so they can sell their own stuff. This product while a last gen model is well worth it if you have a basic media center. For higher end say 15k or higher i might want one that shows exact voltage. but this unit serves its purpase well. its an attractive piece, easy to set up, cord is quite long and the color coding labels included are nice. I have about 10k worth of equipment in my entertainment center and couldnt be happier with this unit, its noise level reduction is just as good as the panamax 5100 i have in the living room at less money.Digital camera Review: HTS 2600 MKII PowerCenter
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent product and the audio quality improved so much. Even my wife can tell the difference. Only problem I had is my speakers are powered and there is not enough hi-current plugs to fix my two speakers and the receiver. I strongly recommend this product.Digital camera Review: HTS PowerCenter is a wonderful product
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent I did connect it to a Playstation 3, 46 LCD Sharp Aqua tv, RX-V3300 Yamaha receiver and HD Direct tv receiver and the picture quality improved,the sound improved a lot. I got 4 Infinity speakers ERS310 in ceiling and ERS HV250 as a front speaker. Clean sound. I do recommend this product for $ 160.00 is a very good investment.Digital camera Review: Makes a difference to me- Peace of mind!.
Summary: 5 Stars
The 2600 MKII is an excellent surge protector and power cleaner. As far as whether you will see or hear a difference in your audio/video (A/V) signals, it depends on your home electrical source, age and quality of your home wiring and appliances, and the area you live in.
I'm lucky enough to live in a newer house. My electrical is up to code and not overdrawn. I have 200amp service (everyone should have it!) to make sure I have plenty of reserve power at hand when multiple appliances are on at the same time. A/V appliances in older homes with original wiring may be more susceptable to electro-magnetic interference (EMI).
You may notice when a high-current appliance, like a microwave or dryer runs, you get A/V interference. That is exactly what the HTS 2600 is designed to cure. Those who say it's only a surge-protector probably don't live in an older home where EMI is more common. It's not going to significantly improve A/V quality for those who don't have an EMI issue.
What it will do well for those who don't have EMI, is provide excellent surge-protection and piece of mind for your hard-earned money. In my case, although I have no EMI issues, I live in a remote, mountainous area, where electrical surges, blackouts and brownouts are common in winter. For these reasons I choose the Monster HTS 2600. It provides all the protection I need. And it neatly sorts all your A/V AC wiring.
The HTS 2600 is more than adequate for most users. For those with more than one amplifier or many A/V components, a more-capable power center may be required. Here's what I have hooked up to mine:
63" plasma tv
AV receiver
DVD player
VCR
DVR
Playstation 3
Remote control charging dock
RF transmitter
Entertainment Ctr. lighting
It uses a household standard 15amp three-prong plug, but you may consider installing a dedicated 20amp outlet for all your home theatre needs.
