Hi Kim,

Over the years, I have wrestled quite a bit with sound systems.   I finally 
got a Peavey Messenger system, and it has worked gloriously.   Be sure to use a 
dynamic mic, as the Van de Graaff will kill the small electret mics.   The 
system was not cheap, about $500, but it has great sound, is very portable, sets 
up fast, and works great with both the Tesla coil and the Van de Graaff.   
Also be sure that you have a good, solid ground for your outlet.   Especially 
with Tesla coils, a poor ground is trouble waiting to happen.
