    The unit has the UL 1449 second edition listing that I understand is very important.

    I expect build quality to be at least as good as Monster. My experience with other Niles stuff is that it is on a more professional level than most monster products.The unit has some serious power filtering specs also. Comes with a built in 12v trigger.

    Should have mine next week if you want to wait. I'll post a first impression.

    Stu, any idea as to how much current limiting they use?

    Hi Joe.

    Are we talking total current through the unit? It has a 15A circuit breaker built into the rear of the unit. Some other specs are over voltage and under voltage protection. Niles claims the unit also beats the UL spec (<300v) for capturing spikes, one of only a few on the market to have the ability.

    No Stu, I referring to the outlets of the power conditioners. For instance, my Monster HTS 5100 MKII (now dead) unit had specific outlets for specific pieces of gear i.e., digital outlets for CDPs, outlets for preamps, outlets for power amps etc. The power amp outlets were no good because they had current limiting circuitry which would limit the current drawn by the power amp. This would interfere with the dynamic demand for current on let's say heavy bass draws or just increases needed to complete dynamic range necessities changes.

    I believe my amp has filter circuits to clean up the power thus I plug it directly into the wall to avoid the current limiting circuitry in the power conditioners.

    Joe, I don't see a spec in the manual for an individual outlet rating.
    Some manufacturers units provide surge protection by using "sacrificial" technology, this unit does not. This makes me think there may not be a restriction inline with the 15A breaker rating. Am looking into this further. The fleabay guy also has a 6 outlet unit available with the same technology for really cheap and it may be better suited to use for amp line filtering/circuit protection.

    Polk Audio Monitor Series Tower speakers. Amazing sound quality and solid construction in these tower speakers. I have a pair for sale for $100. They are made of a 10" woofer, two 7" midrange speakers and a 1" tweeter on each pair. I would estimate the weight of each tower speaker at about 40 lbs- they are VERY solidly constructed. They measure 28" high 11.5" deep and 16" wide.

    Towers????:confused::confused::confused: Twenty-eight inches high does not a tower make.

    I actually got those last week.. Really nice and more bass extension than you would think for the size. compared to my 60s I had never heard a more natural piano sound. I was really surprised at how well they fill the room. they will be used a tv only set of stereo speakers with occasional 2 channel use of cable music channels.. all i need now is an integrated and looking to pickup the Cambridge 340 from audioadvisor when i get the cash. For just 80 bucks for the pair they are a steal

    I'm sure with the amount of time left on the auction these will get some bids eventually...I would imagine even if somebody had these shipped it would still be worth it if they truly are in this great of condition.
