acoustic amp for a violin?

well i went back to the store today and the guy there agreed that with all that distortion and high frequencies of the violin, the tweeter could very likely be damaged.
he thought that i might be better off going with a pa system(the peavey pr12d 200 watt) that came with a built in preamp.
it sounded pretty good with the pedal and everything save for the fact that the feedback was still terrible. when i wasnt playing i had to turn off the pedal or we would just be inundated by an intense piercing screech.
the other problem was that the pa system itself was nearly 400 bucks which is not an amount im sure im willing to spend on one speaker... you wouldnt happen to know of anything a bit cheaper that would get the job done would you?

if not then i might end up getting the kustom amp with a cheap(ish) preamp like the tech21 since that sounds like it may work about as well.
