Not to sound like a shameless shill, but an excellent article and quite refreshing to see an honest and straightforward company like APC take a leadership position in the audio/video power conditioning/surge protecting, and battery back-up field. Using advanced engioneering/design, honest specifications, top drawer capability/function, and robust build quality and all at a reasonable price, particularly in comparison to the competition, is great for the consumer and business in general.
I have used APC products (and others) for protecting my office equipment and computers. I am certainly likely to buy their products for protecting my audio/video equipment and for cleaning up my electricity and any extraneous line noise.
I would love to see them build multi-channel amplifiers, surround processors, and receivers. Who wouldn't want to buy other components from such a great electrical engineering company that is using top flight science (and not mythology and BS) to design their products?
