Recommendations for power Infinity Kappa 9's pease

[Mr Peabody]

The 9's are, a bear. I don't believe amps like Vincent or regular Parasound deliver more current than Bryston.

The 9's are, a bear. I don't believe amps like Vincent or regular Parasound deliver more current than Bryston.

I had it on the bench and they are able to handle the short musical transiens better and for a longer time. The slew rate seems to be better fitted within the tolearance of the capable current than on the other amps. This is what i measured here in my home.
I also noticed that the caps at the .78 ohm load @ 38 Hz have still enough enegry.

Harnman in Germany tested those amps during the early 90's and they worked pretty well. Measurement and protcols can be ordered via mail from harman in Germany, but only for payment as far as i know.

If you do not believe, its up to you.

No, this loudspeaker isa joy to listen if you pair them right. I never said that Infinitys are cheap. They preformance is beyond most other speakers even the most expensive ones if you power them right

I only know the Bryston 4B and 3 and they don't have the power to drive the Kappa's quite well. The larger models can do that, but I assume they are far over 500$???

thanks for your messages and advice folks, no doubt seems like this guy has a dinasour to drive...
which is excatly my point; doesn't have the budget to spend on a good quality amp to drive the kappa's to their true full potential - therefore it will never be a Kappa! and that is my point.
he's better off selling the thing and getting a pair of fine mini-monitors with a sweet tube amp that will give him endless hours of musical perfection, but it seems like musicality is probably not the factor here so forget that!

Manley monoblocks 350 watt tube design, mac amps, or even the big VTL's will drive these babies with ease. solid state I would think Krell's, Pass Labs, ok Threshold for crying out loud, and of course none other than Audio Research - tube or solid state AR will defintely drive Kappa's no sweat.
anything else, forget it! not even interested...
cheers, and have a good one!
