Since I’ve “asked” more than “answered” in the short time I’ve belonged to this forum, I thought I’d post something that others might find of interest. I researched some threads on surge protectors, and have seen that some of you like Tripplites. The other day, literally within hours of thinking I should get a good surge suppressor for my growing system, I saw an ad in “Sound and Video Contractor” magazine for a new series of Home Theater surge suppressors by Tripplite.

I’ve ordered a HTPOWERBAR10, though I’ve been told that the products are brand new, and only now being shipped to dealers so it’ll be a week or so.
An interesting sideline is that in that magazine ad, it’s stated that through October 31, they’re running a “buy one, get one free” promo. I don’t know if that will apply to my purchase or not. My gut feeling is that since this was in a trade mag, the promo is probably geared towards resellers only. Yet, there’s no mention of this or any other limitation in the ad. I called and spoke to someone at Tripplite today, and he was unfamiliar with the promotion. He stated that there would likely be a card in the box for you to send after the purchase to receive the second one. It certainly sounds too good to be true if offered to the end-consumer, but this unit still seemed better than the Monster units, etc… so I ordered one anyway.
I figure I might try following up on the offer after I receive the unit.
