Hi,

The Peavey Amp I have is the Mark VI Series and is about 12 years 
old, although it has hardly any use on it.   I didn't dig up the 
specs on it yet, but it has a built in equilizer with the top band 
centered on 10kHz.  It also has a built in crossover adjustable 
between 200 and 2000 Hz and I do have a spare stereo amp laying 
around here.   
 
I'll have to look into the freq response of my GK410 Bass Guitar 
cabinet, although I don't expect to find it will be high enough for 
optimal sound.   I also have a couple of EV PA type speaker cabs 
with a big horn and 15" drivers, but they're rediculously big for my 
living room where I want to set up the drums.    

Does anyone know the frequency range of cymbals including the 
overtones and harmonics etc? 

Cheers,
TomBk
