Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please

Hi Jtiesel2,
I ran SpeakerCraft/Marcof electronics, back in the early 80's. I had my own Stereo Store a few years in the late 80's,early 90's in St. Louis called Sounds Right. I've been a manufacter's rep for high end audio and 12v. I've built and repaired more speakers than I care to mention. I'm glad that it worked out for you. Tim

Your amps are here.Krell kma 160,4250 ask price and mint,good luck,Bob

I was going to recommend an Aragon 4004 mkII.Those amps were even used in Discos(abused would be more accurate),but after reading the posts,I thought I better not.I just ran into this article.I'm familiar with the Apogee's amp blowing reputation. This article gives an idea of some amps that ought to be able to drive them. Link..[http://www.apogeespeakers.com/scintilla.htm]

Hifihvn,
Nice article, this as good as advice as one could give knowing the difficult load of the Kappa's. These are all nice sounding amps and some are even affordable.

how about some of the wyredforsound stuff

Class D & some say it sounds great. I talked tote them a while ago about how to power my kappa 8.1's & also a pair of 18in subs I was thinking of building & they stated they sell their amp for pro audio stuff to power sub's

I have been wanting to try a pair of 9.1's however my present amps aren't enough for my 8.1's so I need to wait. I started with a Adcom GFA-5500 & after getting married I switched to my now wife's amps, parasound HCA-1500a's. They sound a LOT better then my Adcom ever did especially when I bi-amp the speakers but I do not have enough amps due to needing them for the HT setup. So I think I will try the larger of the wyredforsound amps, probably try a multichannel amp so I can do 500x7 but due to money reasons, start 500x2. Then hopefully use that single chassis to bi amp my present speakers as well as power the surround speakers.

I thought somewhere there was a writeup on how to change the wiring on the 9's to eliminate the low ohm dip they take.
