Bottom Line: Infinity Kappa 7 speakers are OUTSTANDING. Best speaker I have ever owned. They embarrass anything sold out there today that is $2k (each) or less. Music is fantastic sounding on these speakers. The mids and highs are so outstanding you can hear every little sound/instrument. They are power hungry so they sound best with a HIGH CURRENT AMP. The more power/current you feed them, the better they sound. Just can't say enough good things about these speakers!

Bottom Line: This review is for the Kappa7. Awesome speaker that embarrasses the new Infinity speakers. Beats many of the so called high end speakers of nowadays. Nice smooth highs, good mids, and bass that you can feel. The more power you feed them, the better they sound. Good sound-stage and a 3d like sound. Only weakness (aside from being so power hungry) is the woofer surrounds that deteriorate every few years.
Strengths:
Terrific low end, Smooth highs, Furniture grade cabinets, huge siund-stage
Weaknesses
Tremendous appetite for power, woofer surrounds

Strengths: Very musical. You will feel a warm feeling but still has punch. Great for all music tasts extreme volumn.Weaknesses: Not quite enough speaker to blow out walls, but who would want to do that?Bottom Line: I use these great speakers for my rear with my surround sound system. I use the Kappa 9's for the front. These speakers would be fantastic for 99.9% of the people with high end equipment. They have a great neutral musical sound, but can handle the volumn of a suround sound system being driven by a McIntosh 7270 amplifier which has 270+ watts.

Strengths: Warme diepe bas en goede plaatsing van de instumenten.
Warm en zeer analoog klankbeeld.
Warm and very analoque sound. Great sound stage. Dept of bass.Weaknesses: Soms mis ik wat midden gebied, maar ik denk dat dat aan mijn versterker ligt. In de winkel viel mij dat niet op.
Sometimes a slightly lack of mid-range. (solved by a powerfull amplier i think).
Need to be placed at least 2 feed of the wallBottom Line: Ik heb de speaker (7.2)nu zo'n twee jaar. Als versterker gebruik ik een Rotel RA840 BX3. Verbazingwekkend is de stage van deze speaker. Ik ging eigenlijk voor de KEF Q6 en de Mission 780, maar de konden niet in de schaduw staan van de KAPPA 7.2.
Wel denk ik een zwaardere versterker nodig te hebben. De Rotel heeft zelf al een diepe bas en dat overheerst soms nog extra op de Kappa. En eigenlijk moeten ze een flink eind van de muur af staan, maar ik heb dat opgelost door de basreflex poort te filteren. Ik denk niet dat er voor dit geld een mooiere speaker is. Ik wil er zekerr nog een paar bij hebben om in te zetten in een nog aan te schaffen home theater. Ik heb de nieuwe serie (600) gehoord, maar de viel erg tegen.

Strengths: The speakers "disappear" leaving you with simply the music source, including all the bass (with no "boom"). Best I've heard for opera, for example [no "edge"]. And a fine "sound-stage" to boot.Weaknesses: None, except that they require big power amps [mine are B & K Monoblocks].Bottom Line: I am TRYING to review the Infinity 7 Kappa speakers [acoustic suspension], NOT the later ported things. The 7 Kappa is one of the best, most musical speakers ever made. I've had them at least 10 years now, still great. Smooth across the audio spectrum, no shrillness, no boom. [Hint: Expensive fancy cables make no difference, folks! -- see old article by "Doc" Greiner, former chair of U.of Wis. Electical Engineering Dept., in ... Stereo Review?]

$700.00
Purchased At: American TV, Madison
