6 Kappa speakers
« on: January 02, 2013, 05:29:30 PM »
Hello all,

Selling a pair of classic infinity speakers. Nice-looking and awesome sounding. All drivers working, recently re-foamed. Special deal for forum members, $275.

Unable to post pictures, see Reverend's link in squawk box.

Thank you,
confused

Hey confused - so this have 10 inch woofs?  My 6.1 II s have 8 inch woofers. Great sounding speakers, specially for percussion, IMO.

Hi OldiesButGoodies,

Yes these have a 10 inch injection molded graphite woofer, a smaller version of the woofer in the 7,8, &9's. Acoustically suspended, they have very tight low bass.

Thanks,
confused

Just another note, the crossovers are audiophile approved as well. The ad says they cost as much as some of the cheaper speakers. Only air core inductors and film capacitors are used throughout. No need to rebuild these, they should last as long as the speakers.

These were designed by Arnie Nuddell and Cary Christie to be state-of-the-art.

Those mids need some work...   Not a bad deal if you are willing to go the next step.

Dale, ya got my number... I got two pairs of Kappa 9's and more than enough mids to make those right... and I have the method to restore them down to a science, if they are not too far gone...
