I had purchased a 1.5 KV UPS when I got my Marantz. I was wondering if its too high for my needs, but I thought I will keep it in case I need it tomorrow. I now am seeing its benefits. I have connected Panasonic plasma (Average 250W), Marantz (Average 300W- 500W), & PC (Average 150W). More Importantly, Peak Load is Panasonic plasma (400W), Marantz (1KV), & PC (150W for now. With a graphics card will shoot up).
Considering that I would not drive the Marantz at very high volumes, this would give me at least 300W buffer in the peak load.
I assume that you are switching on your components in a sequence as your current transformer will not handle all of them turned on simultaneously. Also, the max wattage for amps will be achieved during startup as well as when you run very complex music passages that stresses the amps (opera etc at reasonably high volumes).
