"i would be interested in the 10kVA size with the OFC copper wiring option and the EMI/RFI filter option on 3 or 4 circuts for my digital source and the digital amps in my subwoofers."
Mike,
The 5kVA unit should be way more than adequate for your needs. I also have a level 3 Rives design. Chris and Richard recommended the 10kVA model. My installer, who was an electrician in his former life, felt that 5kVA would be plenty for me and he was correct. I have both 2 channel and home theater that run off this thing and have never had any problem with the highest intensity music or movies. I'm talking about running simultaneously: a pair of Spectral DMC 360 monoblocks for the mains, 4 Bryston 7B's (driving 4 passive subs), and 3 Rotel monoblocks for center and surrounds. No problem at full tilt with everything going at once!!! Oh yeah, the projector is on this thing as well, not to mention all of the front end digital and analog components. Great piece and built like a tank.
