So which amp do you have again??  I had a TL-922 and ditched it for a Henry 
3K-A -- it's amazing
what 4 kV @ 1A will do on a pair of 3-500ZGs.  It runs a conservative 1500W PEP 
in pretty much any
mode, dang near "brick on the key" duty cycle.  I had it running an even 2kW 
output (into a load,
of course) with just a pinch over 100W drive...
