    Kappa 9 Woolly/Thin Bass

    Hello fellow Infinity enthusiasts! I've been a fan of Infinity speakers of the Kappa flavor for years. I really think that if properly amped they deliver some incredibly pleasing sound at a (relatively) wallet-friendly cost. I've owned the Kappa 8.1s, which I adored, and then the Kappa 9s...

    Infinity RS4

    I like dome speakers. But normally in a 4 way (so a smaller conventional cone can handle the low/mid range, leaving the larger dome to handle the mid/high). If dome for midrange in a 3 way, I would like to see smaller woofer so they can cross over to the mid at somewhat higher frequency. a)...

    NPEs for cross-over recap

    I just picked up set of Kappa 8s and I am going to do a partial re-cap, replacing all the NPEs. I've used Mundorf E-caps when I re-capped my RSIIIbs, RS5bs and Kappa 6s. Very happy with the results but here is my dilemma. I need much larger NPEs for the woofer section of the Kappa 8s and I can...

    Will my amps drive the legendary Kappa 9's?

    Hi! I have the opportunity to buy locally a pair of Kappa 9's in apparently good shape, but will my pair of Harman Kardon HK775 monoblocks drive them? The original owner uses a Mcintosh MC2002 with good results. For those who don't know these amps, are rated at 130 W into 8 ohms and 260 into 4...

    Infinity Kappa 9's - Goes against core design principals?

    Hi Audio-heads! Just got my hands on the original set of Kappa 9's I bought new in 1992. It's a long story, however the previous owner traced them back to me and the vintage audio-head that I am; I had to buy them back. Anyway, here's the bend... As its been posted correctly, these speakers...

    Kappa 9 VS RSIIa

    Hi everyone. I've decided to temporarily retire my Sigmas from my front room to preserve them for when I have a better listening room setup since I'm currently renting and even the best room in the house has several flaws that really prevent the Sigmas from being able to perform at full...

    Infinity Kappa 8's Missing Base - Need to buy or Dimensions to Fabricate?

    Hi Folks, I just bought a pair of Infinity Kappa 8's, great condition, except for two things: The Base plates are missing, and I've looked everywhere, but nowhere to be found, so I think I'll just Fabricate them, unless someone has a pair for sale? Does anyone own a pair? And could I impose on...
