i had the kappa 9's, 8's, irs sigmas,ren 90's ren 80's, overture 3's, mts preludes, can you tell i am an infinity guy, out of them all i liked the ren 90 and the kappa 9 the best, i read on a couple of infinity forums that if you where to replace the kappa 9 with a new speaker you would have to spend at least $10,000 in todays market thats how good the kappa 9's where, i had the infinity mts prelude a $10,000 speaker side by side with the ren 90's and a and b'd them for weeks, all i can say is if you listen to music get the ren 90 if you want a speaker for home theater get the prelude, the ren 90's where $3600.00 when they came out, imho they sounded so much better than the mts preludes a $10,000 speaker that it was embarrassing and they rated the prelude class A and best sounding speaker in 2000 for under $10,000, would be nice if somehow you could compare those speakers that you auditioned side by side with the 9's as those old infinitys where really nice, to bad infinity don't make em like they used too.
