The HT system I am looking at is mid-level, I think.... (Yamaha 1400, SVS sub, Rocket 550/200 speakers).

They salesman recommended the Monstaer Power Center 2500.

Would you recommend a voltage regulator for my system? Is this one any good?

Thanks!
Whatever you do, do NOT let this "salesman" scam you into believing his cockamamie BS! As others have already said (except for umrswimr) such a device is NOT needed by 99.99996% of Americans. I'm uncertain about Canada, although my best educated guess that the percentage of those that don't need sucha thing is probably pretty close ... maybe 99.8527% or thereabouts.

A good surge protector - such as a Panamax is a good idea, but one of those will cost you FAR less than that over-priced Monster! So called voltage regulation is NOT something that you're likely to need ... ever!

Hope this helps you
