The best power conditioner for less than $1K?

I have a Rotel 1095 200x5 Amp, an Older Yamaha M-4 170x2 Amp, a Rotel 1066 Processor, a Denon 3910 DVD, a Sansui TU717 Tuner, and Sunfire Architectural Sub. My main speakers are Proac Studio 200's. I am using a Proac CC2 Center channel and have in-wall Def Tech BPZA surrounds. My present power conditioner is a Monster 3600.

I would really like to get a more analog warm 2 ch sound. Any recommednations on what power conditioner would help?

"I think the SS rotel and denon going into the revealing Proac's via the silver cables is the issue."

I'm with Dan on this one. I never did like an all solid state configuration ahead of my ProAcs. While the bass was tawt, the treble was bright and the midrange recessed. Just inserting a tube preamp changed everything for the better and in the direction I think you're looking for Sempaul.

Power conditioning can be of great help, and it seems like you've already done a lot in this area, but maybe a tube preamp with HT bypass might be the ticket here.
