I know some of you are NOT so fond of Monster, etc....however I picked this up on clearance for $119. I ended up saving another $100 when I picked it up (per the manager at Best Buy) so this unit ended up costing me $19. Not to bad...

Any thoughts on this unit....

I will not be hooking my Adcom or sub up to this as they have a separate 20 AMP circuit.

    Let me see how good it looks on my rack. LOL Nice find
    I think the MONSTER power conditioners are about the only monster product you'll see on many people racks.

    yep its normal, Just means theres variation of power coming into the house. if you want it to stay at a constant 120 buy a voltage stabilizer. Monster makes one also.

    I meant to say that he took $100 off my TV, not the Monster.

    So I applied it towards the Monster1600. Since the unit was $119, it ended up costing me $19.
