Power conditioners and amp dynamics???

I know the rule of thumb is to plug one's power amp into the wall outlet, preferably a dedicated line, but in my case, my electrical sytem is very prone to brown outs, black outs, and all manner of power interruptions and surges on a weekly basis (all the power lines in my neighborhood run underground, have insulation that is ancient, and my power is impacted every time it rains). Given this scenario, can you guys give me a short list of power conditioners that would protect my large (125W) solid state power amp from these problems and, to your ears, not restrict dynamics?

Overview:
1) Regulate the line voltage to an exact 120 volts, at all times.
2) Totally clean the line of all distortion.
3) Protect your gear from line spikes & surges.
4) Battery backup runs your system even with a total blackout.
5) Provides huge short term instantaneous peaks that do not compress power amps.

These units make perfect power and do not compress dynamics like the other Regenerators from PS and Exact Power. They are available in Silver or Black finish and can be shelf, vertical, or rack mountable.

Advantages are as follows:
a) True regenerated AC power offers total isolation from power disturbances & noise. as well as total protection from spikes & surges

b) It produces a pure analog sine wave. This Perfect AC allows your system to perform constantly up to spec, even under peak power conditions.

c) The Powerful integrated battery keeps AC keeps flowing with full protection even in a blackout. This protects delicvate integrated circuits and is especially important to protects DLP and LCD lamps.

d) With a 3:1 crest factor these units deliver peak instantaneous watts of 1500, 2100 and 3150 respectively.
No current limiting means that your anps will not be compressed with these units.

e) Electrical approval - These units are approved by CE, UL, CSA. They meet the electrical code unlike many of the competition that could never get UL approval. Simply put, these untis are safer than the competition.

There are three models available. They are:
1) Purepower 1050- Produces 1650 watts of perfect 120 volts continuous power with 1575 watts short term and very short term peaks of up to 36 amps (over 3150 watts) $2495.00 retail

2) Purepower 700- Produces 1000 watts of perfect 120 volts continuous power with 1050 watts short term and very short term peaks of up to 24 amps (over 2100 watts)$2195.00 retail

3) Purepower 500- Produces 750 watts of perfect 120 volts continuous power with 1000 watts short term and very short term peaks of up to 18 amps (over 1500 watts)$1749.00 retail
