77 Chevy
Sounds like you've got all your ducks in a row.
H/K makes some very nicely featured receivers.
The monster power bar is not really needed, no matter what some saleperson has told you. You would be better served spending that money on a few new CDs or games (you WILL be wanting some new tunes). A simple surge protector power strip is fine. A perfectly good power strip can be found for less than $25.00.
Good Luck

minirock-
For the most part I try to ignore most of what you have to say, but in this case I will tell you that your staement is totally OUT OF LINE, and should NEVER be used on any public forum.
I also think you owe Chevy77 an apology.


LIFE IS SHORT.
DON'T BE A DICK.
