Looking at the webpage and spec sheet it's difficult to get past the audiophile pseudo science and description. This is nothing more than a hyped up AC inverter. What they don't say is if the sine wave is a modified or pure wave, in fact they seem to do their best to avoid that. I'm going out on limb and saying it's modified due to the omission of detail. If it was a pure sine wave I'm sure the audiophile virtues would be touted in the promotion. An oscilloscope would quickly confirm it.
All that being said I just acquired a Xantrex Freedom 2012 inverter / charger that is pure sine wave with more features than you would need or want for less than $1200 shipped to my home. Along with two Lion Energy UT 1300 LiFePo 105 AH batteries for $1450.

FWIW, our old pal Romy the Cat, did some fairly extensive testing of the same PurePower 2000 unit the OP has connecting it to a scope. In the write up on his site, he found that it indeed does output pure sine. Furthermore, he goes on to state that this is the first, maybe only (since I have not been to his site in some time), re-generator unit he feels comfortable with having his entire system, including amps, plugged in to. The presence of the on-board wet cell batteries act as their own supply storage and for brief periods can supply more current than is available at the wall even.
While I didn't have any interaction with the aforementioned person, at least not directly I was aware of his antics and views. For those reasons I would take his recommendations with a grain of salt.
FWIW the equipment I listed is for an A/C backup with optional solar charging in my RV. This will allow me to stay off grid for several days at a time. The reason I posted it to show with a little homework you could build a better mousetrap. The charge on those batteries would probably power the OP's audio equipment for a week with clean constant voltage.
