I guess you got everything figured out already and its a matter of shipping the gears from the UK to Manila.
If you are still in the 'building' phase of the house, you can specify the following:
1. a different electrical circuit for your audio/HT room from the rest of the house
2. surge suppressor bank + voltage regulators can be integrated in a wall or ceiling somewhere OUTSIDE the room
3. wire up the HT/Audio room where the gears would be placed
Benefits:
1. The output voltage on the wall outlet IN the HT/Audio room is already 'filtered'.
2. There's no clutter of extension cords,big voltage regulators / surge suppressors competing with attention and space with the HT / Audio gears.
Hi Mikeer, thanks for your thoughts & advice. As a retired electronics engineer I've already stuck my nose into the electrical spec. & specified the Audio & HT outlets to be isolated from the rest of the house, each will have 2 separate feeds each. I aim for each system to have it's own AVR, the whole house will be surge suppressed with local suppression for Audio & HT & I will also be using line conditioners.
The house will also be networked, which reminds me I forgot to put the networking kit on the list of gear - I will do that shortly.
Yes everything is in the UK waiting for my residents visa to be approved before shipping to Cebu. I will also be bringing all the cable & interconnects that I need but I'm sure I've forgotten one or two things so I'll be asking you guys for assistance if I get into difficulties.
At the moment the only work in the HT room for the builder will be the dry walling & insulation, the rest I will do myself as I am very handy at DIY. I will even try my hand at carpet laying, there is also the satisfaction factor - 'I did that'.
The only kit I have brought with me are the network switches, firewall & router. I spotted some very nice HT seats & just had to have them, I will post pictures of those later.
Thanks again for your suggestions, much appreciated.
