Power Re Generator capacity questions

Davehrab - you're my 'savior' right now! 

Really, I SO appreciate that you took that amount of time to break it down for me.  I have spoken to a PS Audio rep as well as a store that sells PS Audio gear here on the site (I'll leave the name out due to respect).  They both claimed that I would need a P10 plus another unit (like a P5).  The store that sells on this site claimed I was going to need 2 P10s to run it.  I found that a little hard to believe but wasn't sure.  I was thinking along the same lines as to how you intelligently explained it.  I just wasn't sure if I was wrong. 

Knowing me, I would have purchased two, spent too much bread on something that I could have gotten away with by spending half the price.  I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your detailed insight.  This is why I always come here with a question.  You are another great guy in a great community. 

One last request of your opinion.  Being that I have 3 high current draw items; 2 channel amp, 3 channel amp and large powered sub.  Would you purchase one P10 and work it heavily or 2 P5s to split up the high current drawing components?  Money wise, if I can get a reasonable deal on a new or used one, one P10 beats out trying to buy 2 P5s I am sure.  However, it means nothing if the P10 couldn't keep up.

Given your breakdown I now think that using one P10 is the way to go.

Please please check your amplifier specs before going any further. Your power amplifiers will draw much more current than their watt output rating. As a for example I looked up the specs on an Arcam P49 2 channel 200 W amp. This is an efficient class G design and is rated at 1 KW peak power consumption, the three channel version has the same rating. Less efficient designs may even draw substantial power while not in use. My VTL monoblocks for example draw 300W even on standby.

FWIW I think regenerators are terrible with power amps and there are much better power conditioning solutions out there from manufacturers such as Synergistic Research and Shunyata that are both better for power amps and cheaper than the P10. By all means consider a P5 for your source components

if you let us know what particular items you have we can look up the power draw and let you know what you really need

Thanks for that offer of researching the power draw of my system.
My system contains the following;
Adcom 5500 2 channel amp
Adcom 5503 3 channel amp
Reimer 1000 Watt sub (through Parts Express)(Class G)
Audio Refinement Pre2 DSP surround processor
OPPO BDP 93 Universal player
Panasonic TC-P65VT30 Monitor
Modwright LS 36.5 Tube Preamp
Motorola QIP7232 2 Settop box
Reimer surround speaker system (not applicable)

OK -- here’s your answer, hope this helps

Motorola QIP7232 2 Settop box        ?                   25       Estimate from https://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-TV-Technical-Assistance/Verizon-FIOS-Cablebox-Power-consumption/t...

Total                                                428               3,507
Total ex sub                                     404               2,507

The sub seems to be the real question mark here and probably either should be left out or get its own dedicated (more basic) conditioner. Other than that your original back of the envelope of 2.5 kVA was very accurate!
