The reason to avoid filtering is for amps and such that need fairly large amounts of current quickly... and some filters limit the amount of transient current available... HOWEVER! There's a good chance I don't know what I'm talking about

and it's also possible that to hit the limit to affect your equipment you'd have to be turning on and off a hairdryer or something plugged into the same power strip...
for my system I've got all my sources and the 950 plugged into an isobar-isoTel and the amps are plugged into their own 15amp line with only a 2plug "iso-block" (good surge supression and limited filtering) and a non-filtering outlet strip just so I have room for the sub, 2-200's, and the 755....
..I need to pay more attention to what I type
