Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please

Thanks Driver, I appreciate it. I understand, I'm getting old, I have been in or around this business for 32 years.
Sometimes I bite a bit too fast in my old age.
As far as the Ampzilla above? As I stated in other area's, I used to sell Sumo. Jim B. has told me that the Andromeda is nearly an arch welder, that it will run nearly to a dead short. I've never tested the Ampzilla, but I hear that it sounds a bit better than the Andromeda, but a bit more tempermental. I'd be surprised if it would run the Kappa's if you ran it hard at all.

Driver- There are people sending me messages to my email because they do not want to hear the criticism and abrasiveness that they feel they would receive in this thread. I ask how to get some creative input on how to drive these speakers, and what i get the most of is "don't even try, you're wasting your time, just sell them" If that's not discouraging and at least slightly unappreciated then I don't know what is. Sorry, they are my babies, and when I get into a room full of people saying I can never do it and just get rid of them I get a little frustrated. I really do appreciate all the input, and what I have learned is that the general opinion is that I could do better for myself by replacing them.

no i inherited the speakers without any amp Magfan. And yeah Ive been looking at some cerwin vega's they look especially sturdy also, good for a party environment! and good prices on them. Do you recommend a particular cerwin vega model?

One last thought. You might contact a few people known for mods. My thinking is that you take something like an Adcom
565, double its filter capacitance, double the voltage capacity of the bridge rectifiers, possibly have to change the transformer, but you take a solid amp, maybe not an adcom, but a solid amp and make something capaple of handling the current needed to run the 1 ohm load that those babies throw at you. A 500 to 600.00 amp and a few mods an you would be on your way. I bet you will find that it is out there. A few phone calls is cheap. good luck. Tim

Others will hopefully chime in, but for a PARTY speaker, look no further than CV.
WTF, nobody is going to be sitting there, eyes closed, toe tapping to some incredible jazz performance. We're talkin' PARTY here.

I have ZERO idea about model, but one of the 'traditional' 12" 3-ways will get to to loud / party with a reasonable amp. Some of that bullet-resistant DJ stuff may work on the amp side.

For your 2500$ budget and the Kappas in trade, I'll bet I could get you Jailed or at least evicted.

Old / used amps, especially those which have been stored for a year or more may simply not put up with the kind of wacky abuse you may dish out. Or a friend with a little TOO much 'adult beverage' cranking up 'Stairway to Heaven' to hear it ALL!

I don't know about the Kappa9. Everyone here calls it an amp killer, so I'll lean that way, too. But nobody has remarked on what I thought the problem was....those pesky EMIT drivers and if the do or NOT have a problem at high levels with amp distortion......or maybe i'm thinking of the Heil AMT stuff?

Free speakers requiring a couple grand in amp, are probably not a big bargain!
