Best amp for kappa 8.1

Krell was made for them...LOL the problem is the $$ to run them and maintain the ones he could afford?

 HEAT.... yahoo!

  
Class ds... they will sing, You'll pay a LOT less for power, and sweat a little less, too..

1000.00 usd  two 500 wpc rails. 1 ohm stable. Hypex MP500? I think
somebody chime in... THAT will run them perfect. They will have the bass they were suppose to have...Now don't throw on, "The Club" 50C, and bombard the poor things..., hee hee they will sound good though.. Just not too long...you'll smoke um....

Regards...

Will either push less than a 1 ohm load? Infinity K 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, were ALL known to be amp killers. 

There are XO fixes.

The other option, just make sure, what ever you use, will hold up.. I've worked on a lot and owned a LOT of the RS and Kappas. They can really sound great...The Kappas do require a lot of power to get the BASS that they can really offer up.. I'd start at, 5-700 watts @ 4 ohm...

A good class d would run them perfect... Just an Idea?

I looked up the specs on the amps you mentioned..

I don't think you'll be happy. They both have pretty good specs.

BUT. It use to take something like Krells, Mark L, Pass Lab, Ampzilla, Adcom 565s, modded, 5800.

I also saw, a guy go threw 2 pairs of Gen 1 Emotiva. Denied the warranty on the second pair. LOL chewed them up and spit them out with Kappa 9.0. 10-12 years ago.. I tried to tell him... XLR? I think, you could run mono, and get 1000 watts or so..

With good (right) amps, those speakers will surprise you...
