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.

I meant to say that I use a Trip Lite everywhere except my PC because I have an Uninterruptable Power Supply.

You are saying UPS automatically does surge protection?

I just got the Trip-Lite Isobar. From what I understand Surge Protector Power Strip 1700J Protection does not offer surge protection but Tripp-Lite does because something to do wit the 3 status lights
