Product Description
The power coming through AC power outlets is full of interference and line disturbances that cause hum, buzz, and static, degrading your home theater's audio and video performance. In addition, electronic appliances generate electronic noise that affects your home theater sound and picture. Monster Clean Power Circuitry Stage 2 filters provide excellent AC power line noise rejection and isolation of audio and video equipment for component-generated noise rejection. When you connect your home theater components to a Monster HTS 1000 MKIII PowerCenter you'll get the best possible picture and sound from your components. Common power surges, spikes, and dips can easily damage sensitive electronics in your home theater's AV components. The HTS 1000 MKIII features over 6125 Joules of extreme protection that can absorb powerful surges and spikes. Unlike ordinary surge protectors, advanced Monster PowerCenters also actively monitor incoming power and automatically disconnect your valuable equipment before damage occurs. Microprocessor controlled T2 Disconnect/Reconnect circuitry not only protects your AV equipment, but protects your PowerCenter as well. The T2 protection circuitry automatically disconnects the PowerCenter and all of your connected AV equipment when it senses dangerous power conditions, completely isolating them from sags, spikes, and surges. T2 continues to actively monitor power conditions, then automatically reconnects when AC power returns to normal. In addition, Monster's Tri-Mode protection circuitry incorporates an audible alarm that will tell you when your PowerCenter has protected your AV system from damage.

It Seems To Work.......2007-11-07
I plugged it in, plugged in my television, cable box, dvd player and everything worked. I don't have an issue with "dirty" power so I see no change with this and I haven't been struck by lightning (knock on wood) so as far as the features of this product the jury is still out. I do however have peace of mind that IF I am struck by lightning that my new 61" Samsung LED DLP television is covered and that alone is worth the money I paid.
Well built, high quality power protection.......2007-09-15
I received the Monster HTS 1000 MKIII from Amazon about a week ago, after losing my DVD player, VCR, Tivo, and Wii to a massive power surge. I was immediately surprised by the size and weight of the unit. It is quite large, weighing several pounds and measuring just over 16" long by 5" wide by 3" high when laying flat. It feels quite sturdy, made of what appears to be brushed aluminum and black plastic or thermoplastic. The cord is long (6 to 8 feet) and is of high quality (true rubber, not vinyl or shiny plastic).
Upon plugging it in for the first time, you'll notice that it seems to check itself and the power coming into it. There is a brief delay, where it measures the voltage and checks for ground - something I immediately found reassuring. There is a circuit breaker/reset button on one end, a jack for a remote cable on the other end. Monster has included labels for your various cords, so you know what you're unplugging, as well as a coaxial cable, a phone cable, and a remote cable to connect it to a receiver.
I haven't yet had the "opportunity" to test the unit as a surge protector - and I hope I never do. I purchased this as a sort of insurance policy that I hope I never use. But should a surge hit, Monster provides a $350,000 warranty covering properly connected equipment. Good enough for me.
This unit is one of the more expensive surge protectors out there, but it's less expensive than an insurance deductible, and it's certainly less expensive than replacing your electronics. A good buy by any estimate.
Busted!.......2007-09-04
I guess a surge hit or something because the alarm on the Monster Power went off and everything shut down.
Now, everytime I plug in the Monster Power, the alarm goes on with no way to turn it off and it powers nothing.
I found on the manufacturer's web site, "Audible alarm sounds when the protection circuit has been disabled. The product should be immediately unplugged. Contact your dealer or Monster Cable for service."
If I use a regular multiple outlet power strip that has circuit breaker protection (as they all seem to have), everything works fine. If I plug the Monster Power outlet strip into any socket in my apartment, the alarm goes off and the strip doesn't turn on.
No idea what the manufacturer is thinking. Does the alarm indicate something internal in their strip is fried? If so, it's good that they've got this alarm thing, but on the other hand, it'd be better if they made it so it wouldn't get fried. All the standard 3 dollar multiple outlet strips with circuit breaker protection I have are over 10 years old and don't have any issues.
Sweetness.......2007-06-14
The only thing that I don't like is that it doesn't have 2 inputs for Cable or Sat, just one for each. Clearly they overlooked the fact that most people have TIVO or DVRs that take two feeds. However, you can use the cable and sat in tandem, so not so bad.

Creative Speakers .......2007-11-29
I have just purchased my third set of Creative Speaker Systems. This set was for a gift. My PC's are now my main stereo systems as my $300.00 stereo system does not sound as good. I have two computers running in my home office. I listen to music on the one I am not using at the time. I would recommend Creative Speaker Systems to anyone! Thank you CREATIVE!

a nice surprise after "muddy" computer speakers.......2007-08-05
I'm accustomed to computer speakers that produce sound as dull as dishwater, so the first time that I listened to the Inspire T3100 speaker system was an unexpected wakeup call. The sound is VERY lively, and the treble, in particular, is both strong and smooth -- guitar notes come alive (Clapton, Doobie Brothers), saxophone wails (Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" is especially nice), and I notice little details and backbeats in the music that I'd never picked out before.
I was concerned that the subwoofer on an inexpensive system like this might be too "boomy," but not at all -- the sound was very natural. There's a knob on the back to adjust subwoofer output, but I set it in the middle and felt no need to fiddle with it. If you like really big, thumping base, other system probably would provide more.
Volume is easily sufficient to fill a typical small office or spare bedroom. The subwoofer is a bit smaller than a shoebox standing on end. The satellite speakers have bases large enough so they won't tip over too easily. The right speaker has a power/volume rotary switch on one side that feels smooth and substantial, with a blue LED power light in the front and a headphone jack on the other side. The transformer is inside the sub, so there's no annoying power "brick." The components have a substantial look and feel, not flimsy.
My only comment regarding sound quality is that in music with a lot of base and treble, the vocals don't always burst forth with the same enthusiasm. This is more true of male vocalists -- the higher-pitched ladies (early Dionne Warwick, for example) come through just fine. But this can be easily fixed using the equalizer controls in ITunes -- the "enhance vocals" preset actually works very well. There are no tone controls on the speakers, but the electronic equalizer is probably a more effective and accurate device.
My reference speakers for these were a 10-year-old pair of Altec Lansing ACS40, which were not bad speakers at the time (and, of course, can still be found on E-Bay!). The Altecs still produce a smooth, pleasant sound -- but VERY dull and muted compared to the Creative system.
Frankly, I bought this new system not expecting much. Another set of old speakers had given up the ghost, and I wanted to get something that would be slightly better than the usual $10 replacement pair. But these are a LOT better than I expected (and I'm the kind of person who is more likely to be disappointed than impressed by the stuff I buy). So I can recommend these without reservation.
Oops, here comes "Take Five" again on the shuffle play -- gotta go. There's some drum work in the middle that's coming through really nicely - lively with just the right amount of reverb. Definitely not to be wasted on bad speakers.
good sound.......2007-03-30
Still breaking these in but impressed with the sound. Much higher quality sound than cheap 2.0 desktop speakers. Sub is smallish and fits easily under a desk without much of an imprint. Satellites are even smaller, but not delicate and have a good weight that keeps them standing straight even if accidentally nudged. For the price, these are a steal!
Excellent Sound Quality.......2007-03-12
Easy Set up. Excellent sound quality. No distortion when playing really loud music. Tried various types of music like rock, techno, classic - plays all just great. Bottom line: really worth the money - and not that they are expensive to begin with.
