Surge protection for amps?

I keep reading that we should plug our amps directly into the socket and skip conditioners. What about surge protection? Living here in FL has me nervous plugging my Halo amp and new KEF LS50 Wireless speakers directly into the wall. What's everyone doing for protection that doesn't effect sound negatively?

@asahitoro ,
I use that Furman as a power strip/surge protection for my amp. It is plugged directly into the wall and all my other components are running off a separate conditioner.

This is transparent and non-current limiting. Professional grade and works well on my high power SS amp.
