is it enough to get just a Voltage converter-transformator from 110V to 220V??
of course converter has to be strong enough for the power of monitors (260W).

HI, I just moved back from Europe. Like Lepetite said, most modern gear either automaticaly "switches" to the correct voltage or has a switch ,usualy next to where the power cable comes in. Just double check everything before actually plugging anything in. I also have a few peices of gear incl. a pro Cd recorder, compressor, etc. that I plugged into my Furman power conditioner. Then I plugged my Furman into a basic transformer ( just a transformer with two sets of cables coming out of either end. Sorry, don't know the make or anything) I bought it at the local "hardware" store. Just make sure it can handle the wattage and make sure you put it somewhere that it can keep cool.
ps. I know why you want to buy the stuff in the US. It's a lot cheaper and easier to find. Just be aware that warranties and garantees may not be valid after leaving the states.
