Bruce, au contraire; I think you’ll soon discover that everyone on the forum without exception fully endorses the use of power conditioners.
Except Meridian ?
A bit kidding but they do state that not every power conditioner is suitable for DSP's (same goes for big poweramps).
Old post of Viruskiller in this topic
Power Conditioning on DSP8000SEs I found the official statement in the FAQ on the 8k support page:

9. SHOULD I USE MAINS CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT WITH THE LOUDSPEAKERS?

No. Meridian DSP loudspeakers feature internal protection which, when activated, can demand high current from the mains supply in order to blow the fuse within the product. This is a deliberate aspect of their design and is a key safety feature. If, under these conditions, anything inhibits the current required to blow the fuse, the loudspeaker will be exposed to circumstances for which it was not designed. Such circumstances could result in catastrophic damage and become a fire-risk. It may be thought that this can be avoided by using a mains conditioner which boasts a current rating which is higher than that required to blow the loudspeaker’s fuse. However, the possibility of the mains conditioner itself developing a problem needs to be considered. If a problem in the conditioner restricts its current delivery capabilities, and then the loudspeaker suffers a failure as described above, the fuse may not blow and a serious risk of fire will result."
Not saying that you should or shouldn't use a power conditioner but i think its wise to take the above seriously to save the life of your beloved DSP's and its owners
