| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please Infinity Kappa 9 is not 102db. Not even close. The Technical Manual has a misprint. | |
| Speaker power handling It seems to me you are having some big time fun too. | |
| Speaker power handling Not at all. | |
| Counterpoint SA 220 It appears this is nothing more than another of many out there performing mods and convincing you they know more than the engineers at Conrad Johnson, Audio Research, Wadia, etc. If you are not satisfied with your PV-11, why don't you sell it, add... | |

| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please This speaker is way too big for your room. There is an error in your specs. The efficiency is not 102db. It is more like 88db, but the Kappa 9 has a volume threshold and refuses to play loud with most amplifiers. Besides that it is a difficult loa... | |

| Counterpoint SA 220 Do any other components in your system have a ground? If so, try floating the ground on all components exept the preamp. | |
| Counterpoint SA 220 Before taking a recommendation to replace caps try dropping the ground if you have not done so. You can also try your new amp in another system to see if it hums there too. Sometimes it doesn't take much and a sysytem hum can be hard to find. | |
| if one midrange needs a new foam surround, should I agree with having drivers redone to maintain balance left to right. Even though the foam isn't deteriorated it is not as firm as it once was dramatically affecting the ease of excursion and overall sound character. | |
| Audio Research Preamp Experts? Key words, "good for the money". That's like saying its in great condition for its age. I just noticed the high asking prices on SP-11 MKII preamps. If these are merely asking prices and not an indication of actual price the SP-11 is still a solid... |
