I am looking for opinions on the Monster 7000. I know everyone talks about how overpriced Monster in general is, but would you say its a good product? Would you recommend something else?

My opinion is it looks cool, and I am sure it will protect your system. I am looking to get one myself as I just picked up the AVS2000 and It works good, make that great, and looks way cool.

I've had one for about a year and it works great! It replaced a more expensive piece by TIFF. I have to say I like it better. I am deciding whether to add an AVS2000.
