Infinity IRS Beta & Kappa, for 5.1 Audio

I just wanted to hear the 5.1 remixes that Steve Wilson was doing for some of my favorite music, but my IRS Betas were set up for 2 channel. Some infinity Kappa 9.1s showed up for sale, got them locally for $300, got lucky and was able to repair the crossover with a buddy. Researching 5.1 amps, Denon Avr x6200w is rated for low ohm speakers, and was on sale at about half price for some reason, so I went with that. Oppo was still in business as I was shopping for Blu-Ray players, the 203 was reasonably priced back then and could play the older SACD and DVD-A formats. My Technics SL-1200MK2 is still hanging in there, but I can’t seem to keep the VTL300 amps running, so I am using SAE 502A on the planar panels, and an Adcom G555 on the woofers. Just picked up an inexpensive sub woofer, even with the Betas rated at 20hz, they are the fronts, and the direct 5.1 mode sends bass program material to the dedicated .1 Channel, so I needed something to be there. Reference 4s in the center are probably then weakest link, but I could also use some warmer sounding power amps.
