OK...I got this stright from Bills mouth at Miller Sound!
FIRST...Bill wanted to thank all his friends at Audiogon, for their support and recognition, especially Vinh Vu.
SECOND...Bill said the Adcom GFA-565 was more than sufficient to drive the Kappa 9's...provided they is ample line current and the ability to maintain that current.
THIRD...Bill said the Kappa 8's were...in general much superior speakers than the 9's, without all the fuss!
FOURTH...I should send Bill a digital photo of the woofers. If the foam was replaced and the proper foam was not used, that would considerably inhibit the performance of the 2 - 12" woofers in each cabinet.
FIFTH...Hold some wire leads to the binding posts, + to + and - to -, and lightly contact the + after the - is secure. The 2 woofers should move in the same direction at the same time. If not, they were wired wrong.
SIXTH...absolutely, unequivically, the woofers should be balanced!!! Due to the very narrow profile of the cabinet and it's unforgiving design, if the woofers are not balanced, the before and after sound will be noticeably different. The woofers should take a week or two after receiving to balance.
Looks like I have my homework to do now. Really appreciate everyones thoughts and comments and will post again as things develope!
