I use a Monster HTS-2500 with my CJ amps and the remote features work just fine. The conditioning helps quite a bit as well (I have very noisy AC), however its easy to tell when the current draw gets beyond what the conditioner can reliably provide. At low volumes its never an issue, but when I crank it up a bit the sound becomes noticeably grainy. I continue to use it for the convenience of remotely powering on/off the system, but at some point I'll have to think about moving to more robust power source.
