Agreed with most. But 8171's are more costly. Also who says you have to
drive a pair of 4-1Ks with 350 Watts? That would assume that a single
4-1K would need to be driven with 175 Watts. I drive my single 4-1K with
about 80 to 100 and get full legal limit. And I ALWAYS get great signal
and audio reports.
Plus there's a romance in seeing the glow of those old firebottles!
