Seems odd to me but can I ask why you are purchasing these amps that are over $3K without even hearing/knowing they can drive these evil Kappa 9’s Good luck btw with these IcePower based modules https://ibb.co/hZJN3q5 Good test, looking forward to it and your findings, and hopefully anyone else’s that maybe present, if you could get them to furnish their opinions also. Cheers George |
Heck..if your going to spend over $3K you would be better off purchasing a pair of the Nuprime ST-10M's. The Wyred4Sound amps are not in the same league. Just look under the hood. The Nuprime power supply is much larger and their custom designed switching amp is equal to if not better than the B&O amps. The nice thing about Nuprime is that they display their top amps on their website with the covers off to assure you your getting your money's worth. Wyred4Sound will never display their amps online with their top's off. |
One of the reasons I’d like to give these a go... Specifications
It’s gonna need every bit of those ratings to drive the 9’s! Without dropping a name I was advised they’re rated into 2-Ohms. It’s worth a go... |
joysjane Don’t think your gunna like this It seems the WFS SX-1000 uses the same B&O 1000ASP ICEpower module as the Bel Canto Ref1000M monoblocks. Stereophile say they turned them selves off when presented with a 2ohm load, which easier than the Kappa 9’s load which is a below 1ohm horror load. "Ref1000M monoblock offers very high power from its diminutive chassis. It does work best with higher-impedance loudspeakers" Maybe it’s time to sell the Kappa 9 if you really need to go class-D My friend with Infinity Renaissance 90 little easier load than the 9’s was trying to do the same with Class-D’s, didn’t work out either, went back to his big Krell, which luckily he didn’t sell.
