Yes indeed, 2.5 no problem with the 4 by 1´s. I ran a pair of 4-1000A´s
for 20 years or so, 200W drive gave just about 5000W output on all bands.
Last year I replaced them with a YC-179 however sometimes I do regret
it, the 4 by 1´s was nice.
TVI well maybe, can´t really tell since there are no close neighbours
where I have my radio station. However I do remember that back in the
70´ties I used to have problems with the 7:th harmonic from 14.2 MHz,
we have an FM station on 99.4 MHz you see. The Swedish PTT was quite
upset with me and tried to nail me several times however they never
managed.
