Amp Options - Infinity Kappa 9s

Hi All,

I recently made my first foray into some upgraded speakers and settled on the Infinity Kappa 9s. Being a novice to the HiFi game still, I didn’t have a full appreciation for just how hard these things seem to be to find an amp/s for!

I’ve spoken to a few people and been given different paths. I’m just hoping to get some advice on a few different options. Any input would be much appreciated as I start to build my knowledge. The 3 amp options I’ve been presented are below. Would any of these run well in either/both of the Normal/Extended modes for the K9s?

Cheers,

Ash

From what I can find, these are only rated down to 4Ohms but he had them driving Infinity RS4.5s which seem to have similar issues to the K9s.

Cheers all. Australia poses some challenges in access to a lot. It’s a bit of wait and see what options come up. 
 

I was recommended an ME850 as being able to drive them well. I’ve copied the link to specs below. Could I ask you guys to take a look and give me your thoughts? I will likely upgrade this when other options come up but just looking for something to get me by. It’s supposed to have strong current and doubles output down to 2ohm and below.
