Is there a cheaper alternative to the monster cable power bars that provide cleaner power?
I'm getting a bit of a hum in my speakers lately so I've been looking at the Monster products, but dang are they ever expensive.

If anyone has any suggestions for a similar quality product please let me know.

I do not see anything on this site that resembles the Monster Cable powerbars that reduce noise polution.

You assume a power conditioner will straighten out this speaker hum? There's other, free options you may want to try first. Be sure to keep your speaker wires clear of any power cables, turn off every other device in the room to see if it is passing interference. Does your subwoofer use a grounded power connection? Be sure to explore some other options first.

Speaker wires are pretty much clear of anything that would give any interference. Center channel and fronts are on top of entertainment unit. The wires are going directly from my receiver to the speakers. They don't get closer than four feet from the ground.
I'm not sure about the grounded power connection for the sub. Could you explain a little better?

Reason why I think Monster Cables are such a rip-off
