m60s - power conditioner, surge suppressor, power cords

Posted by Ajy55906 on October 28, 2004 at 09:53:46:
I recently installed 3 20 amp dedicated lines into my listening room.
The M60s are each directly connected with a run of the mill computer type power cord. I live in the country and we have occasional surges. My front end is powered with a Monster 2000 power conditioner/surge suppressor. It is powered by the 3rd 20 amp circuit.
I am pleased with the sound, but concerned about the m60s not being protected from surges. I unplug them frequently when they are not in use.
1. Should I buy a surge suppressor for the M60s. If so, one for each? What would you recommend?
2. For this model, is there a significant benefit from adding a power conditioner or balance power with surge protection? If so, what models.
3. Any recommendations for 20 amp power cords.
I would like to keep the total below $2,000, and quite frankly, I am a bit suspicious that an outlay of that magnitude would increase my enjoyment of the system.
Thanks.
Alan
