hey thks Tvad,the road is not that straight for audio amateur,i wish we had more shops around here,soooo places like this and people that take the time to share really help.i think i will try the 99's,but i almost went for the Van 5A'S.i think my little amp should work better with the 99's and from what i have read the 99's keep up with the 5a's just fine.cheers
