Infinity kappa 9 ebay crossover

.
Bite the bullet and bi-amp those Kappa 9's.  You will love them.

What are the dimensions of your room and ceiling height?

I think to Tim's point, if you get into an Infinity it is not worth it to try and replace parts here and there. They need a modern crossover re-think. Whether you purchase from some one who has done the work for you, or do it yourself, a white paper design is the way to go.

I've done a few Kappa repairs, I've not been in the 9's.  Either way, I was shocked at how poor quality of coils that were used.  Extremely light gauge coils are used. I doubt that coil impedance was figured into the crossover design, although that is an assumption on my part. I've not measured. This can lend toward impedance and phase angle  issues. So to say Impedance or load can be improved is probable.
The caps, although could be better are not the real weak link in the Kappa Speakers. I have gutted and rebuild 6 & 7's. 

The vintage Infinity gurus are at the Infinity Speaker Forum on AudioKarma. Here's a link.....

Thank you I am new.how do get there?i didn't see anything like that in my list of different topics or anywhere else i looked 

Hi Lexi, take your question to the DIYAudio/ multi-way forums. I Think this speaker and the failings with it's crossover have been documented there.

Infinity crossovers were arrived at very experimentally. Kind of a miracle they made sound to my eyes. :) :) :)

If they had the tools we have today with measurement and simulation I'm sure they would have been done differently.

Best,


Erik
