Surge protector

This morning we had a power surge.  First one I ever experienced.  It knocked out the sub woofer components of my GoldenEar Triton one speakers. In my ignorance I had them plugged into the wall rather than a surge protector. Soooo it blew the amplifiers in the sub woofers. It’s going to be a costly proposition: $500 for the amplifiers plus God knows how much the dealer is going to charge for coming to my house. (He’s very reluctant to do it, wants me to lug the 80 lbs speakers to the store.   
Meanwhile, I’m having to listen to bass-less  speakers for the foreseeable future.
So, the moral of the story is plug everything into a surge protector.

You absolutely should have one at your breaker box , if you want something very good on a dedicated circuit then go to VH audio great for audio .

if you just want one for the whole house still have installed at the. Breaker box 

Siemens make very good ones for under $250 on Amazon I have one 

plus the top model around $1k from VH Audio , for my dedicated Audio circuit 

and I believe it has power wave form correction ,I have to lookfor the paperwork 

it works excellent the sound sounds improved day or night .
