Power Plant 10 problems

Hi guys- been reading some troublesome feedback on PS audio gear on their own forums.

Someone had posted about using online sine wave regenerating UPS's instead which is a similar process- for a LOT less money.. Trouble is, I have no idea how to size either.

My new amps will be SS 700W mono's that draw 150W at idle all the way up to 1500W at full tilt. Full tilt would melt my 300W 96dB speakers and my face while I'm at it so how does one size the output capacity of the UPS/Regenerator?

I'm thinking a 2000W device feeding them should be plenty on tap and give huge overhead if needed.

PS Audio dealers aren't plentiful in Ireland so I don't have the luxury of borrowing one to test the draw of my 500W integrated at present.

Then there's the age old logic one should never plug one's amps into anything other than the wall...-.
