If you want that Mig-21 sucking up gravel on an unimproved runway  
sound, go with a couple of Rotron Centrimax CX-33 blowers.

Or, if the XYL doesn't mind a little two-cycle smoke, use a 41cc  
Homelite leaf blower with a tuned pipe.

##  I have one  left of those infamous  rotron CX-33 blowers.  They are superb
blowers, and will  deliver a huge amount of pressure.   Mine are  230 vac rated.
I tried one  on my small  0240vac  @ 5A  variac.. and it works  VERY  well.
I could adjust the speed/airflow  very easily..from a  crawl  to full bore..and
anything in between.    The current draw, even when run full bore, is very little. 
Good rich enterprises.com  still rebuilds  CX-33 blowers.

The rotron centrimax CX-33  blower was one of the best blower's 
ever made imo.  Stupidest thing they ever did, when trhey discontinued it..
and have no direct replacement either.  One of em will  easily cool a pair 
of  YC-156's or a 3x10.    You need  2 x CX-33's  for a 3x15  or  3x20.  That
was a standard  FM broadcast  set up for a long time [ 2 x CX-33's  on a 
GG  3x15] .    A buddy here in town got a hold of a 3x15  FM  TX... and stripped
it of parts..which is where I got the pair of  CX-33's  from.  It will do an easy
3-5"  of water pressure.
