I am a noob when it comes to power conditioners. I need some help in determining which one to buy, so I thought I would ask hose who know. The dorks at BB Mangnolia were utterly useless . I am looking at 4.

Panamax 4300
Panamax 5100
Panamax 5300
APC H15

Here is my equipment list.
2 Carver M1.0 amps bridged to 1000 watts
2 Klipsch KSW-200 200 watt subs
Yamaha RX-V663
Pioneer BDP-05FD Blu-ray
Pioneer DV-414 DVD player
Samsung 40" 750 LCD
XBOX 360

I don't seem to need power sequencing as I turn on all componenets by hand, one at a time.
Thoughts, comments? Any help is appreciated.

No problem. I still think your best bet would be the APC H15. It has a higher surge rating( 5270 Joules ) than the others. It weighs more & has a better build quality too. It also has automatic voltage regulation, which the Panamax units lack( except for the 5400 & 7500 ). You can get it for $250 here: http://www.amazon.com/APC-H15BLK-1-5.../dp/B000FBF08Q . No matter which unit you choose, I wouldn't recommend running your Carver amps thru it( might restrict their performance ).

I picked up a new silver APC H15 over a year ago for $99( silver color was being discontinued ), no regrets. I use a Panamax M5400-PM in my bedroom system & a Furman Elite-20 PF i in my living room system. If either of them ever needs replacing, APC products will get first look.
