Product Description
The Monster AVS2000 is a revolutionary AC power component that represents a breakthrough in the improvement of home audio and video performance. It is the first product to preemptively eliminate problems that degrade the performance and shorten the lifespan of all your other components.No matter how big or small your home theater is, your components can only give you all the performance that you paid for if they're working under optimum conditions. In theory, that means a strong, consistent supply of 120 volts from your AC wall outlet. In practice however, a multitude of factors inside and outside your home ensure that this is almost never the case.Fluctuating AC power, which almost all homes experience every day, is the cause of numerous problems that clearly impact picture and sound quality, as well as the lifespan of your equipment. If the AC power coming into your components is wrong, nothing else in your home entertainment system is ever really working right.The AVS2000 serves as the electronic gatekeeper for your entire AV system, providing a controlled, regulated flow of stable electrical voltage. This lets your components do their work effortlessly, with perfect efficiency. It creates the same optimum conditions in your home that the engineers used when they designed the specifications for products that you now own, and will own further down the road.

Sweet Voltage Stabilizer / Overvoltage Surge Protector June 20, 2008
This unit is awesome. At 1/2 of retail on amazon.com I couldn't pass it up for what I needed. This unit is massive and weighs in at 70+ pounds. It means business and is about as large as a full fledged surround receiver (e.g., Onkyo SR805). I bought this to help regulate steady 120 current to my HT System. I also use the Monster 3600MK2 as a surge protector for my important components. This used to fluctuate voltage reading from 116 to 125 throughout regular usage. Power fluctuations to my knowledge can destroy your system components over time. After hooking up the AVS2000 I have a steady 120v of power to all of my components (TV included). Likely due to poor wiring, or the way electricity runs in my town here in New Mexico. Highly recommended this unit can also be hooked to a remote DC switch to power the unit on and off. Primary reason for purchase was to regulate voltage to a steady 120v. It does look pretty cool and the Blue LCD lights can be dimmed. The unit does not get hot, but does need plenty of room as it is huge. Check measurements before purchase. This is a nice high end Monster Power component. If you can purchase one of these solid well built units through Datavision (on amazon) it is a sweet deal at close to 50% off retail ($1500 yikes). Anyway... well worth the use and peace of mind knowing that your gear is totally protected from electrical devastation. Ciao!
Grab this from Amazon May 14, 2008
I have used Monster products for several years, although I'm becoming a bit concerned about their business practices as described in the AV forums. Regardless, I have wanted a power stabilizer for some time now to handle the ever-growing stack of black boxes in my theater. When I saw Amazon's price for the Signature unit, I jumped on it. While I have not seen any eye-popping increases in either video or audio performance, the peace of mind knowing that the system is being protected and the power is being regulated made this a great purchase for me. I agree with "Tech Dork" that this unit should be paired with a good power conditioner; in my case, the excellent HTPS 7000 MKII (which DOES produce a noticeable improvement in both audio and video performance).
Anchor your system with this 75lb. beast March 23, 2008

I own one of these and one of the non-signature series (red display).
(this is the same review that I wrote for the other ASV 2000)
If you invested a big pile of dough on a home A/V set up, why not feed it correctly. In the US our components are designed to run on 120 volts. But most average neighborhoods fluctuate (+ or -) 3 - 4 volts at all times. On really hot nights where everyone has their A/C on, it can fluctuate up to 8 or 9 volts.
This bad boy locks everything in at an even 120 volts. So your TV or stereo isn't having to make the adjustments itself, it can just focus on performing without any power stress.
As others have noted, make sure to use a good quality surge protector. I personally use the Monster HTS 3600 MKII.
My favorite part is the big displays. I find myself just watching the voltage readout it to see what the power rating is. The voltage display just tells you what you are feeding your components. The amp display helps you keep an eye out if you might have left a component on and didn't mean to. My kids are always leaving the DVD player or stereo on. If you notice a high amp readout, you know something was left on. My components are behind dark glass, it is hard to see if items are left on.
This 75 lb. beast will take up some space and has to be put on a very strong shelf. You will reserve the "lowest" shelf for your entertainment system for this bad boy. Consider it the anchor of your system.
