Monster pb1100 or hts3500
The last thing I need to complete my setup is a good power conditioner. I've done a search and there wasn't much info on both the pb1100 or the hts 3500. I found info on the hts1000 but buy.com is currently out of stock due to the super low price. Should I just hold off until they get more stock or will there be a vast improvement going with the pb1100 or the hts3500.
I'm leaning towards the pb1100 since its cheaper but I want to hear some coments of people with first hand experience with any of these products. Thanks everyone, you have all been very helpful this past month.

I did some research into both awhile ago. I remember reading that both essentially have the same Monster Power Level 2 filtration and internal circuitry. Go to Arthur Salvatore's High End Audio blog: http://www.high-endaudio.com and look at his recommended list of components under power conditioners.

I completely agree. It will also take up less space which is good.
