| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please The problem isn't power, its current capability. The Kappa 9's drob at one point down to .8 ohms. Most amplifiers will crap on themselves trying to drive a 1 ohm load. I have heard Kappa 9's sound decent on a 50 watt amp. Dave Cofin of the old Mar... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please Jtiesel2 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 tr... | |
| 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 ... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please I copied this from Audio Review. I hope this helps. He drives them with an Upper end Hafler. I am still using them in my living room, in a stereo system, fed with a Hafler XL-600 or (alternatively) a Hafler 9500 Series THX Power Amplifier and a Cl... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please I agree, lets keep this a neysayer free zone. I don't know that the comment from Driver was even meant toward me, but Nothing should be discouraging about quoting a fact. I do not own an Andromeda, I used to sell them years ago. The discouragement... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please As I said before the Original Sumo Andromeda is not a great matchSonically, but you are flat wrong the aboutThe a Andromeda being able to drive them.I don't mind any difference of opinion, butIn this case it is fact, I've seen it done. | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please The only amp that I can think of that can drive them well, I don't think will sound particularly good with the Kappa 9's. That is an old Sumo Andromeda. The Original, Not the II or III. I've driven that very loudly years ago into 3 ohms without is... | |
| Capacitor as Crossover for High Pass? Sorry, I just re read the thread and mis read a bit. I would not use panels for bass. I gave you info for panels as your main speakers and traditional drivers in a subwoofer. This should make my posting make more since. Other mentioned phasing and... | |
| Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom I have not read all of these theads, so this may have been handled. Do not stuff anything in your ports. The ports are designed to give you a flat or smooth bass response down to a speakers given ability.(Some small speakers build a bass boost on ... | |
| Capacitor as Crossover for High Pass? I just picked up on this thread today. I haven't been posting on Audiogon for long, but I've been in or around speakers and building for 32 years. A Simple capacitor circuit should not cause any damage to your speakers or amplifier. What you will ... | |
| if one midrange needs a new foam surround, should If the foam has not deteriorated to the point of falling apart, meaning it feels week but no holes in them, you can revive them for a couple of years with clear latex. Take some normal latex paint that has been sitting around, Do Not Shake it, Ope... | |
| Reasonably priced integrated to power KEF Q65.2? I don't know the Kef's sensitivity, but if they are 88 or higher, you can pick up a Audio Refinement Complete in the $500.00 range. Anyone that has sat in front of a complete will tell you "What a nice surprise". I owned one at one time and have r... | |
| Adcom Vs Rotel There are some Muse 150 monoblocks on here right now that would do a fabulous job, no their not mine nor do I know the seller. Just a solid recommendation. | |
| Class A Amp to go with B&W 704's ? Both of those amps have a great reputation, I haven't sat in front of them, but at that price I can whole heartedly recommend Coda. | |
