Hi everyone,
I'm probably trying to scratch an itch that's not there but my goal is to minimize chances of damage to my A/V equipment which was fairly expensive for me. I currently have two floorstanders, two subs, and an AVR to protect. Everything is plugged into one Tripplite "Hospital Grade" Isobar Ultra Diagnostic Surge Suppressor:
I am lost with regards to MOV and SMP stuff but I do know that Tripplite employs MOVs and SurgeX uses SMPs. I'm seeing a bunch of great deals on used SurgeX and Zero Surge (Brickwall) items on Fleabay and was wondering if it would be beneficial to upgrade to one of these units. All that COUVS, ICE, Advanced SMP stuff sounds amazing so I'm just verifying that this isn't marketing hype but legitimate technology for safeguarding equipment. We rarely get lightning strikes around here but they do happen miles away. This SurgeX XR315 is a purdy lil' thang, however it costs $900+ new (can't find any used). Any thought are greatly appreciated!

Protect Your Home Theater Like the Pros
Home theater and residential applications require clean, safe power to perform at their peak. Utilizing the proper home surge protector and power conditioner products is a small price to pay to safeguard this valuable equipment from the unforeseen consequences of power surges and electrical line noise.
