I will just say that UPSs are death to sound and afford little protection from lightening. Unlike what SM says, I expect from many friends' experiences, better grounding will greatly improve your sound and video.I know you will make your own decisions, but remember that SM speaks for only a portion of what is reality and of concern.
I lived in north Florida for eight years without any lightening protection but surrounded by at least 75 tall pine trees. Not once did I have any problems, in fact after thunderstorms my Infinity ServoStatics sounded much better. I have lived in Texas for 28 years and have twice had my house struck by lightening. The first time I had a surge filter on my computer but nothing on my stereo, both of which were off but not unplugged. The surge filter and my computer were taken out by the lightening strike as was my wireless telephone. The stereo was unaffected.
The second strike hit with my stereo system on and only six feet from the water heater whose exhaust chimney was struck. Again I had surge filters on both computers that were some distance from where the lightening struck. The lightening fried my garage opener, my intercom system, fax machine, and telephones in addition to burning a hole in the gas line of the water heater. The stereo was on a Sound Application filter and was totally unaffected.
Presently I unplug my stereo in serious storms, such as we have been having the last several days.
