    Love Panamax. Sell them here and prefer them to Monster hands-down.

    I have three and they seem to work. I remember one night I was listening to music in the HT, and was watching the volt meter. It was bouncing around between the 90s and 120v. Then wham, everything shutdown. The Panamax tunrs off the power to the ports if the input voltage dips below 90, and that is what happened. Turned out I had a breaker going bad. After replacing the panel with a new 200 amp job, everything works fine.

    I scour C.List,Audiogon,etc...looking for a/v equipment and other things.I found a mint,less than 6 months old Panamax 7500 Pro for $650 to my door.It is more than I originally wanted to spend but too good to pass up.Thanks again for the thoughts and board support. Eddie
