. When reading the sensitivity rating on speaker specs, does a lower number mean the speaker is easier to drive than a speaker with a higher number? Such as a speaker rated 78 db would be easier to drive than a speaker rated 102 db? .
Looks like they still have some parts too.[http://www.harmanaudio.com/search_browse/partlist.asp?Parts=CS969000&BrandId=INF&MarketId=HOM&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA]
I don't believe this is the original manual. It shows the product history, which wouldn't make any sense for a new product. Also, the revised 6-98 date printed on it. Must of been definite errors made somewhere. The new parts still available doesn't match up correctly, whatever one may be right or wrong.[http://www.infinity-classics.de/infinity/technik/manuals/Kappa_9_technical_sheet.pdf]
I was very into Infinity back in the day, and owned RSIIa Infinities. And agree no way is the sensitivity 102. It has to be down around the mid to low 80s. The fact the Kappa 9 goes down to less than 1 ohm impedance is a BIG problem. You MUST have an amp that can handle under 1 ohm. A rare bird. And an EXPENSIVE bird too. WOW. Good luck, and no wonder the Kappa 9 destroyed amps!!!
. Hifihvn...you are right on both counts. The Harmon site has the model number correct, but the parts are for the Kappa 9.1, not the original Kappa 9. The Kappa 9 does not have an 8 inch mid-bass driver...it has a Polygraph and a Polydome drivers that do not appear on the parts sheet on the Harmon site. The Kappa 9.1 was a ported design that was much easier to drive than the original Kappa 9. The bass drivers were different also. .
