Whole house surge protection


I'm thinking of having an electrician install one of these devices at the service entrance of my house. I get frequent thunder storms. Does anyone know what these are made of? Do they use inductors? Reason I'm asking is I do not want any device that can limit dynamics of my audio system. I've looked into ZeroSurge, SurgeX, etc that use SMP, which seem to be ideal compared to devices using MOVs. But all of these use inductors..and some who have used this type of technology have complained of dynamic restriction and collapsing of soundstage. Thanks.

I have had basically the same EP installation.
The 2050 is installed right where the power comes in on two 30a breakers,plus the 2750 ground filter.
Also for my front rack I use a 60a Torus and in the back a 240v 20a torus for the components rack with projector ect.
My computers and tv's have the EP digiplugs.
Creating a few lines of defense as a couple years ago lost two JL F-113's that were not connected to the Torus,the other two that were connected were perfectly fine.
Also kept blowing bulbs in our DLP tv and since with a surgex and digiplugs,no bulb replacements.
Those bulbs were around 300.00 a pop(no pun)to replace.
Have since upgraded to a LED TV.
I wouldn't be without the above as it can get very costly replacing subs,TV's ect.
