the capability of a PurePower 2000 for the components I have? I'm thinking of purchasing one... 

Given the peak output performance of the 2000, I'm thinking I can connected all of the following 

2 - JL Audio F113 subwoofers
2 - Wyred4Sound SX-1000 Mono amps (class D)
1 - Wyred4Sound SX-500 Mono amp (class D)
1 - Wyred4Sound MMC-5 five channel amp (class D)
1 - Denon AVP-A1 processor
1 - Prima Lunda Dialoge 3 Tube Preamp
1 - Apple Mac Mini
1 - Sony PS3
1 - DirecTV DVR HR-24
1 - Samsung Blu Ray Player
1 - Wyred4Sound DAC-2
miscellaneous - ethernet switch, hard drive, Harmony RF extender

Wyred4Sound said the only thing to ask from their perspective is if the 2000 handles high capacitance loads well, which I guess their amps present - I don't know what that means, as my knowledge of electricity culminates with not putting your finger in a socket.

Thrang,

I do not know if you will be able to get any prediction of the PP2000 benefits in respect to your playback. To “handles high capacitance loads” is not the problem for PP2000 as far as I saw. The thing that you need consider, aside from normal sonic considerations, is the fact that your Wyred4Sound switching amps have most likely switching power supplies. When a switching power sources drives another switching power supplies then it leads to very dramatic dropping of power. It might be not a big deal for you but it might important. Anyhow, take those questions to Wyred4Sound and to PurePower.
