Kappa 8 amp suggestion

Hi,

I have Kappa 8's and I'm thinking about either upgrading my current amp or bi-amping these speakers. Disregard the current amp I have as it belongs to another owner of Kappa 8's. It's a Carver that holds its own without clipping but something is definitely missing. I'll dig up the model number when I get home. I think the 19x13 open ended wood floor room size isn't helping either.

My budget is probably 1500-2000. I'm aware of the power demand these speakers bring hence the forum/website in which I am asking.

Thanks for any help!

I'm not familiar with either the adcom or the carver, but another option is you can get a pair of B&K M200 Sonatas for ~$600 - if you want to biamp - get 4 of them.

You'll be stunned by the performance. They're capable of 150 amps peak to peak. 200 w/c @8 ohms, and stable below 2 ohms.
