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)

Used Vansevers "Unlimiter". It is also conditions some (can't hurt).

Hi,
I've had pretty good results using a Chang Lightspeed 9600 with my Bryston 7B monos. You could probably pick up a used 9600 or 6400 for close to your budget

Rgd,
I used to own 4 Bryston amps, and I remember them telling me that you should plug it to the wall directly, the power supply is a good one and it has a wide range of operation. please check with Bryston on this. You might save yourself some money.

I believe Bryston says not to use such things.
