I have 2 of the Moster HTS5100 (and MK-II respectively)better suited to trreat components AC line, though they're barely OK, I also have a few RSA 1 Hailey 1 Duke, also in hand Exactpower EP15 and SP 15 (balanced power companion to the EP-15,
THye do different things to differnet equipment. the tubes like better the Exactpower however source components adn low consumption tubes Preamp, DAC, phiono stage, etc. like definetely better the RSA DUke even better than the Hailey.
After that Monster only used for some video monitors and tv's. no real high end audio, very grainy in the mids and wanting in the bass maybe the bigger brothers of Mosnter are better but for my $600 for the mosnter I'll spend another $600 and get me a RSA Hailey, that's that.
