Thanks for the nice reply, Tom....

Why can't I just reduce the drive on the '101 to 25 watts and drive
the amp with that?
From brief experience:
It looks like if I drive the amp with 25 watts, I get around 125 -130
watts out of the
amp. Four times that (PEP) is 520 watts, well below the 1200 watts PEP rating
of the amp.
What am I missing here?
