Infinity cs 3009

Thanks to everyone for your input, it is much appreciated!

I would look for a pair of infinity kappa series speakers, they are a step up from the cs 3009 The kappa 8 and 9 will out perform any of those above mentioned kits with the right electronics, if you step up to the infinity Renaissance series speakers 80 or 90 especially the 90...look at the many rave reviews, they will literally destroy any of the above mentioned kits and you can put the money you saved into electronics, good luck.

I’m sorry to disagree with you, I am very familiar with Kappa crossovers impedance curves and sound. I have sold them new and worked on them since.
Peter @ PBN did the speakers that Erik posted, I’d take them any day over Kappa’s, they won’t be dry rotted anytime soon and any solid state amps and many tube amps can drive 
them.

I don’t like the sound of those paper mids and woofers, to me they color the sound way too much, If you drive the kappas with a capable amp, Krell, Pass Labs, Threshold should do the trick you will be rewarded with great sound, I have also used tubes on the top of the kappas and a ss amp on the bottom woofers with no problems and it sounded incredible, as for the Renaissance speakers...they are in another league, it wouldn’t even be close, I’D put the Rens up against any 10K new speaker, they are that good, I have the infinity epsilons and I have searched for new speakers to best them but You would have to spend upwards of 40K to do it, believe me I searched.

I have no argument that the Kappa's are nice speakers and can be incredible with the right amplification, but have to assume from your response that you don't like the sound of those paper mids that you haven't heard them. 
The paper on these mids are coated,  next, the problem that most people have with paper is how you can hear paper resonate,  some love this, others don't.  The slits in the cone, stop the resonating from spreading and moving around the cone,  then the slits are glued with a pliable material that further dampen the cone. (paper is normally more detailed sounding than poly - not always) 
Lastly, with proper crossover changes,  I really like the Kappa 8 & 9 both, many of their issues can be solved, but no matter what, these speakers have aged and the poly domes are shot and all Kappa woofers are ready for at least a recone.
