Why whole house surge protectors are not enough

Isn't it so that depending on their specs, MOV's can "clip" those occasional transient peaks of current to your amps so your speakers can not express those flash cymbal crashes for example. 

That's the reason that I pulled my Richard Gray MOV power conditioner out from my system and placed a Seimens Pro 140 at the circuit breakers. I'm in S Florida so it's a risk but I don't want any MOV's by my equipment. I think the Shunyata designer feels the same. 

I have a tricked out PI Audio UBER Buss power conditioner though.

Is this the Seimens that you have? 

Siemens FS140 Whole House Surge Protection.

It's the one I have. I've read it's the best whole house one available. Unsure of its clamping voltage...I had a Richard Gray 1200S at my stereo rack but pulled it as it limits transient voltage peaks to my amps which effects the music quality and went whole house protection. . 

Sorry, current. My Gray was an old model from 2008. The Gray had chokes. Chokes compress dynamics I've been told. 

I have a 30A dedicated line connected to my Uber Buss power conditioner with a 30A Neutrik connector.

My UBER Buss does a better job with noise than the Gray. Power Factor Correction of 1 if memory serves me.

Caelin Gabriel of Shunyata advises the whole house surge suppressor at the breaker box, and no suppressor at the equipment rack and Garth Powell of Audioquest feels strongly for the opposite due to potential RF noise.

No I won't find any chokes. The designer ran through everything with me. Please don't comment on something you know nothing about. 😁

@erik_squires Why thank you. Thank you very much.
