<> If the set is only 250 watts, you shouldn't have much of a problem with current limiting. I was assuming the set probably had a 500-600 watt draw. 250 watts is a little over 2 amps - virtually nothing. So feel free to go with a unit that is rated for 3 amps or above (360 + watts). Most audio-video line conditioners are rated for 10A, 15A or 20A, and therefore will provide you with ample headroom. Whatever you do though, make sure you use a product that is specifically designed for home theater/audio-video use. NEVER use computer type surge strips or the like on your gear. These type of designs can actually put more noise and grunge into your system.

Thanks. I just checked w/Mitsu and they highly recommended it specifically for the brown's and out/inrush.
I will look into one that provides stable 60 sinewave backup and voltage regulation, as does my backups pro, (no need for usb or comm ports).
Would this also work on Audio components EXCLUDING power amps..
I would think that regulated and constant voltage would work for preamps and cd etc?????
