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.

Adromada III or sumo nine
There is no comparison to the two. I have been a Sumo dealer back in the early 80's and sold the Original Andromeda as well as the Andromeda II and the Nine. The Andromeda was a Bonjourno piece, all bipolar outs, very tight and controlled, very fa... 
Any suggestions for amp for Legacy Whisper XD
The Legacy guys use Coda in their CES display. 
Rowland Consonance preamp needs a phono preamp
You can buy a Yaqin MS11-B on ebay for around $100.00. I don't know anything that competes at the price. It is about as good as anything that you can buy under $500.00. If you can swing it, I'd buy the Rowland. You'll be glad that you bought the R... 
Coda VS Muse Model 3 Signature
I appreciate your informative response. I'm sold the Muse is better than good, but a great piece... I was hoping someone could compare with the also well respected Coda. I have been looking at a new old stock Continuum Window version 4. Which Coda...
