I absolutely agree with your comments about the Panamax, but I have to disagree with the article you read. I am not an electrician, but I think that the plug ends of a 220 circuit are different and incompatible with a 110 circuit. Meaning - it would be impossible to plug a 110v properly wired cable into a 220v receptacle.

In my own experience I had a tweeter/midrange fuse blow in one of my rear speakers. The Panamax 5300 shut down the entire system, protecting the components and speakers.
