Are these two things basically the same? If they are different what are the differences? Also what is the difference between the Mosnter Reference Home Theatre Power and the Monster Signature Series Power? if the Signature Series Power just a higher end version of the Monster Reference Home Theatre Power? If something like this also really necessary? I'm currently running everything through a simple powerstrip. I was considering using an uninterruptible power supply from my computer but I'm not sure if it would be able to handle the current draw.

1. Measure the current draw and you will know.
2. Computer-designated UPSs usually put out a stepped sine-wave approximation while good AV-designated UPSs generate sine wave AC.
3. The differences between Reference and Signature devices is explained on the Monster website but they are, typically, obscure and non-quantitative.
4. The Voltage Stabilizer corrects for AC voltage fluctuations but using a stepped transformer with the wiper driven by a servo motor. The Power devices are generally AC and signal line filters in addition to some surge protection. (It's all there on the website but not in a way that's easy to decipher.)

The difference between the Monster Signature and the Reference line,as it appears to me...is merely the color of the LCD readout.The Reference line has red numerals and the Signature has blue....having owned both,I see no other practical difference.
Oh yeah...you do get Mr.Noel Lee's signature on the unit.Comment

Just looking for some feedback on performance of the Monster AVS 2000 from those who own one. Currently my Monster 5000mkII indicates power levels of 108-115v coming out of my socket. Only late at night does it come close to 120v. All my equipment(RPTV, DVD, receiver) require a 120v source. My 1095... -
I'm a newbee here and this is my first post. Since I am primary considering Rotel gear, I hope I'm posting this in the right place.
I need some advice for you professionals / experts out there. I’m in a bit of a jam. Not that I need to rush this but my theatre is being installed... -
I'm working on a dedicated home theatre and i would use inwall speakers.
I was thinking of using 5x CMW 7.3 and 2x CMW 7.4 but i saw that i can buy Signature 8NT inwall speakers for the same price.
Anybody knows how they compare?
CMW 7.3 is a more recent... -
Just a few months ago I became aware of Monster's nasty habit of taking businesses with the word "monster" in them to court. This has included even small mom and dad shops which sell items that are completely unlike those sold by MC.
As I was searching ebay for items for my...
