I didn't realize that surges could be through the neutral, and I now see that it does not protect against them. Unfortunate. Do these occur with the same severity and frequency as hot line surges?
Regarding the supply impedance issue: I live in an apartment and rarely play the system at high levels. My receiver is rated 35Wx2. Does my modestly powered system make this less of a problem than if I had a big 5 channel system for instance? Does current have any relationship with impedance in this situation? Intuitively, I don't see why it would, but I don't really understand how the unit functions and if it behaves differently at different currents.
