Power Management

[Alex00322]

So I'm just about done getting everything for my set up and just about the only thing left is for me to get a Power management system I've been looking at the Panamax M5100-PM and I was just wondering if I should be looking at something more powerful or maybe even a different brand. I'm using a Vsx-01 with four vf-36's and a wc-24 center 50 inch 7 series samsung no sub a 360, ps3, and a blu ray player. I look forward to hearing your guys thoughts, thanks in advance.

I use a Monster PowerCenter IR 2550. Over priced, yes, but it does the job very well. And I used BestBuy gift cards on it any ways so it cost nothing to me .

Everyone seems to hate monster products. I was going to get a Panamax but then found this at BestBuy. Monster has far more options for conditioners then other brands. This is the only thing I own myself thats monster besides some speaker cable so no way i am a fanboy (especially of overpriced things).

here is the link the the center that I have.

Other can probably give you more intricate answers then this.

Good-luck.

Actually I was browsing the classifieds a second ago. Crackerballer is selling a conditioner BNIB for 175$ shipped, and thats a pretty good deal, I'd se if it was still for sale if I was you IMHO.

Here is the link the the sale.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I would rather go with the Panamax over that are there any other brands I should really look at?
