Kappa 9s have a min impedance of about 1 ohm. This is one of the most notoriously difficult speakers of all time to drive. I had the first edition Kappa 8s which were bad enough at 1.7 ohms. I blew a lot of fuses. These are worse. That said, they are actually extremely efficient and you don't need a lot of topline power. 50w into 8 ohms that will double to 1 ohm is far better than 1000w into 8 ohms if it is not stable at 1 ohm.
Whatever amp you choose needs to be stable to 1 ohm and these speakers are forward so a warmer tonal profile is important. For new you could look at any of Naim's power amps. AGD is surprisingly capable at low impedances. The Tempo is a good choice. I use it with 2.4ohm Vivid Kayas and it sounds great.
Can't speak about most of the the other options here.
