Best Amp For Infinity Kappa 8.1 Speakers

As longtime owner of Kappa sevens I recently purchased a McIntosh MC352 and these speakers came alive. Kappas love power! Look at Bryston, McCormack, Sherbourne in the 300 @ 8 ohm range or don't waste your time the Kappas need the power to fully reproduce what they are capable of. They are great speaker with very precise e-mit tweeters and very controlled woofers when properly driven. Too little power and they will sound harsh and muddy

High current is what you need. An Odyssey Stratos Dual Monoblock is well within your price range and will drive the Kappa 8.1 with ease.

I have the old Kappa 8 in a back up system. I've had them since they were new. I agree with Wccoe. The Odyssey works very well. I have Odyssey mono's in my main system. The PS audio HCA works very well too. The original speakers I think were designed around high power tubes like Audio Research. I have tried an number of amps and feel the way the guy with the McIntosh thinks. A substantial amount of clean power and they are great. The Macs may be good too. Old Adcom 555 will play but you'll get bad high end harshness.
