SUPER TWEETERS-anybody heard them?
SeanThe super tweeters I used were rated to 40kHz. But you are correct when feed with enough power they are very nice and obviously do not need the super tweeters. I still have them with no plans to part with them. I do need to buy new woofers for... 
SUPER TWEETERS-anybody heard them?
I just sold a pair of Radio Shack Super Tweeters on E-Bay. Hardly used them. I had them hooked up to a pair of AR-90's because they were lacking high end definition. I realized upon upgrading to Carver separates that the receiver I was using was u...

What is the overall consensus on the CJ Premier 17

What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines???
I used 10/2 romex. I would be cautious, check with your insurance company, about using something that does not meet or exceed your building codes. If it causes a fire you could be liable.Chuck 
What is the overall consensus on the CJ Premier 17
The 17 would be a substantial upgrade to your PFR. I would also suggest you upgrade your amp to a 2250A or 2500A.Chuck
