Digital camera reviews of Monster Home Theatre Reference HTS 2600 MKII PowerCenter with Clean Power Stage 2 v.2.1 10
Digital camera Review: What a Gimmick!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I did not know which unit to buy for my Home Theatre, so I thought what the hell, I'll buy all of them, try them and see which ones works the best. Not being surprised with the results, I saw NO significant change in sound or picture on the 2600, 3600, or the 5100. But, I still kept the 2600 as it did look nice on my rack and it does protect from surges on your coax lines as well as your AC outlets. If you want a really good surge protector, then this is what to get, but don't expect any changes in your sound or picture.Digital camera Review: YOU SHOULD BUY THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.
Summary: 5 Stars
YES I BOUGHT THE HTS 5000 but I can not get over the improvedpicture quality on my tv set,I bought it for my high output audio
and home theater system.who would think the AC power coming thought our outlets would be so unstable.GO to monster cable.com
and pick the unit that best fits your needs. they have many units. My unit has 4 filters and you can plug up to 10 different
items and you have your surge protection for everything plugged
into this unit. you will be able to tell a big difference even in
the models under the 5000.
Digital camera Review: Yes it makes a difference.
Summary: 5 Stars
This product does make a difference. I notice a slight increase in picture quality and the difference in audio is really noticeable. Now I have a better home theatre system and a really neat looking surge protector. I would recommend this product to everybody who is in the market for a surge protector. I have this hooked up to a Samsung 120hz 1080p LCD tv, Velodyne Sub CH-T8, Yamaha Rx-V663, PS3, XboX360, and Cable box.Digital camera Review: great product
Summary: 5 Stars
bought on Amazon for $139.99, now it is $245 price seems to go up and down. I guess I got a great deal also only paid $7 to ship!!!
looks great, power cord is heavy duty, unit seems very well built could not be more happy. Don't quite know why is has a power button on the front, I guess so you can turn every thing off during a power outage or an electrical storm.
Samsung 61" LED DLP TV

Digital camera Review: waste of money
Summary: 2 Stars
I've always thought Monster products were snake oil, now I'm sure.
I'd been reading about the value of isolating the incoming power for digital and analog components in high end audio. With around $6K in my audio system, I thought this would be a relatively cheap experiment - and at the very least good surge protection.
Wrong.
First, I could see/hear no difference with everything plugged into it. Nothing. Even the faint 60Hz hum one of my subwoofer amps produces was still there. So much for conditioning power...
More important: the first (and only) time I powered it up remotely from my preamp (using the correct trigger ports) my power amp's right channel fried. That amp has always been remotely powered up through the preamp trigger before without any problems.
I don't know how good this thing is at stopping surges, but it's awesome at creating them. Maybe my amp picked that one time to be defective, but I don't think so. And it had to be replaced (not just a fuse).
Here's a positive note: This thing has a nice case, looks really impressive in the rack...even with nothing plugged into it.
