Default Which AC Regenerators for my system ?

Have the following:

Aurender N10
Berkeley Dac
Mcintosh C1100

Or Do I need Power Plant 15 ?

Which speakers?

Easiest way is to total up the power consumption of all of the items. The P12 has 1000VA and the P15 is 1500VA continuous load. Both have higher peaks.

For example the MC302 consumes 3.3A @ 120V (max load I.e. 100% full power) which is 792VA. The C1100 is 75VA.

My guess is you would easterly get away with the P12 no issues.

I went with a P10, upgraded to a P15 instead of the lower capacity units, as the P10 & P15 do not have cooling fans.

In my case I have all my audio components connected to the P15, including a pair of sub woofers, and when I'm really jamming, the meter indicates that it's consuming approximately 25% of the capacity.

That’s a good point I forgot the lower capacity units have fans.
