Surge protection for Bryston amp

Looking for recommendations on a surge protector for my Bryston 4B-SST amp. Doesn't need "conditioning" as I'm very happy with the way it sounds and I need something that won't limit the dynamics. I'm currently plugging the amp into a Hubbell 8200 socket in the wall but obviously I'm not protected against surges & spikes. Monster HTS2000 is used on the cdp and preamp. Tried the HTS but felt it tamed the amp somewhat. Need something that protects first and foremost - budget $350 or less (new or used)

Bryston is worried about current limiting their amps.
"felt it tamed the amp somewhat" is what they want to avoid.
It's my understanding that SS Amps with large transformers are the least sensitive audio componets to surge damage, so I don't think it's crazy to just plug your amp into the wall.

Take a look at this

I think these guys are really honest. I've been very happy with my brickwall, but I just plug my Bryston into the wall.
