I'm thinking of getting a Monster Power Powercenter for my home theater system but not sure which one. What do you all think of these two? Thanks in advance!

They're both solid units, but I would go with the 2500. The 2500 has 11 outlets as opposed to 8 on the 1800. Also it has a USB charging slot and an outlet on the front panel.

my Circuit City had the smaller one for $175.00 friday when I was out. Might want to check there,

I bought the Monster HDP-2400 last Xmas and I also have a mid-level Belkin Pure AV strip. The power in my building is steady, so I may not even have had a need for this additional purchase(HDP-2400) and am not convinced that it's even a better unit than the Belkin. I do like the fact that the HDP-2400 is a componant unit (which looks rather nice in a setup) and also because it displays the siganal variation coming into my apartment at any given moment. It normally varies between 119-122 and every once in a while might extend beyond that range.

I would say this though..DO NOT EXPECT an IMPROVEMENT in A/V quality with these units. It should be bought for peace of mind and security in your investment. I read a review on amazon whereby a guy was really peeved he couldn't notice such a difference and panned the unit all to hell. This person was obviously totally out to lunch in his expectations.

If still available, check out the link that sOnIc provided earlier.
