    monster vs belkin power center

    I have some high power audio equipment ie 200 watt amps, preamp, 500 watt sub etc. I am debating between 2 power centers for my system . they are monster hts 5100 and the belkin PF 60. any one know which of the 2 is the better unit and which would give better results. can find them for about the same amount of money

    Brand name and appearance. PureAV can be had for half of the price.

    I have the panamax 4300 and it works fine for me, cost $180.00 and it looks very cool on the audio stand.

    Beware of Belkin

    I have dealt with many belkin products in mass quantities and have been VERY disappointed. I am a Computer network engineer and deal with over 500 servers and 40,000 workstations in 45 school districts.
    It has been over a year that I opened a tech support case with them and have not heard back from them, I called to ask about my case number and was told someone would get back to me and they never did.
    Even if the product gets a good review beware of the quality your are going to get. I can't stress enough the problems I have had with Belkin. I could go through all the problems here and would go on for many pages so I will spare you the time.
    I hope you take this advice because I would hate for someone else to be burned by this horrible company..
