kt 88 s for the Quicksilver v-4
I have tried both the EH kt88 and the Valve ARts in my ASL amp. I prefer the valve arts. I think they are a great sounding tube. They are also half the price of the JJ's.

Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock
I reccommend a pair of Klipsch Epic CF3's or CF4's. I use CF3's and they can handle 250 watts continous with 1000 watt peaks. They are pro sound voiced, 100dB efficient and hit like a concert monitor when cranked. They will pound you with rap and ...

Horns for Rock.
Look for the Klipsch Epic series, either the CF3's or the CF4. Also look for a pair of Klipsch legend KLF20 or 30's. They are all around 100dB. These all have horns, will meet your budget and they will rock.
