Infinity cs 3009

Back in February 2017 I purchased the scan-speak b741 kit from Madisound. I substituted the single 4 ohm midrange for a pair of 8 ohm of same model. I inserted these into my Dunlavy sc-iv cabinets. I also removed the foam rubber and wiring and replaced with Supra 13 awg speaker wire and wool damping. The woofers and midrange needed spacer plates which I fabricated from round 1/16" steel plates. The tweeter just needed a new notch in the cabinet. I also changed out the Clarity Cap ESA 6.8 uF and 22 uF caps for Clarity Cap CMR's in the tweeter crossover. Since the crossovers are much larger than what they replaced I decided to mount them externally. I have a pair of F113's subs for the lower frequencies. The detail is just incredible. Listening volumes have gone way down. My listening choices have moved more into classical and jazz because of the improvement in hearing everything. My advice to royboy 11532 is if you have the skill level the Scan-speak b741 kit is a pretty good set-up.

Thanks to everyone for your input, it is much appreciated!

I would look for a pair of infinity kappa series speakers, they are a step up from the cs 3009 The kappa 8 and 9 will out perform any of those above mentioned kits with the right electronics, if you step up to the infinity Renaissance series speakers 80 or 90 especially the 90...look at the many rave reviews, they will literally destroy any of the above mentioned kits and you can put the money you saved into electronics, good luck.

I’m sorry to disagree with you, I am very familiar with Kappa crossovers impedance curves and sound. I have sold them new and worked on them since.
Peter @ PBN did the speakers that Erik posted, I’d take them any day over Kappa’s, they won’t be dry rotted anytime soon and any solid state amps and many tube amps can drive 
them.

I don’t like the sound of those paper mids and woofers, to me they color the sound way too much, If you drive the kappas with a capable amp, Krell, Pass Labs, Threshold should do the trick you will be rewarded with great sound, I have also used tubes on the top of the kappas and a ss amp on the bottom woofers with no problems and it sounded incredible, as for the Renaissance speakers...they are in another league, it wouldn’t even be close, I’D put the Rens up against any 10K new speaker, they are that good, I have the infinity epsilons and I have searched for new speakers to best them but You would have to spend upwards of 40K to do it, believe me I searched.
