I've done a few Kappa repairs, I've not been in the 9's. Either way, I was shocked at how poor quality of coils that were used. Extremely light gauge coils are used. I doubt that coil impedance was figured into the crossover design, although that is an assumption on my part. I've not measured. This can lend toward impedance and phase angle issues. So to say Impedance or load can be improved is probable.
The caps, although could be better are not the real weak link in the Kappa Speakers. I have gutted and rebuild 6 & 7's.
