Surge protection for Bryston amp

Looking for recommendations on a surge protector for my Bryston 4B-SST amp. Doesn't need "conditioning" as I'm very happy with the way it sounds and I need something that won't limit the dynamics. I'm currently plugging the amp into a Hubbell 8200 socket in the wall but obviously I'm not protected against surges & spikes. Monster HTS2000 is used on the cdp and preamp. Tried the HTS but felt it tamed the amp somewhat. Need something that protects first and foremost - budget $350 or less (new or used)

Hey Rgd -
I had the exact same post as you a few months ago and after dismissing the conditioning solutions, I came down to two choices: The Panamax Max 8 and the Monster AV800. Any more than those and you get conditioning thrown in - which I agree with you is not necessary for all amps. I will be getting one or the other soon. The Panamax has better insurance (whatever that means) and a higher Joule rating. Hope this helps. Arthur
