I have a pair of Kappa 7's and have had for years. I always ahd the issue of the "screaming at me" and although the emits are accurite and quick they can as you say fatigue you. First off Kappas love power. I started out with a Yamaha M85 Amp with 350 (yamaha watts) and they were ok, then I went to a Mcintosh 5 channel amp with 200 watts. They sounded cleaner but still screamed. So I bought a McIntosh MC352 with 350 (mcintosh watts) and WOW
the tweeter tamed down without losing thier accuracy, the sound stage really opened up and the imaging has been great. I wish I could afford a MC602 because I really beleive that the speakers would come to fruition of the designers intent. I don't know what your drving them with but my recommendation is POWER to the SPEAKERS. Or use the amp money and go buy some more efficent speakers, which is what i am trying to do.
