[QUOTE="SA Audiophile, post: 42112, member: 966"] I just want to support what Hi-Phibian said - [b]try before you buy[/b]! I have a pair of Infinity Reference Standard 9 Kappa's. These speakers are known as "Amp-Killers", as they go down to 0.8ohms at certain frequencies. I have first hand experience in trying to find a reasonably priced amp to match these and twice made the mistake of not trying first and relying on specs and reviews. First was the Nad 208 in the mid 90's and more recently, the Rotel RB1090. Rotel stated on their website that the RB1090 would drive "even the most demanding speaker" - well it went into protection at even moderate volume on my Infinity's! I replaced the Rotel with a Sunfire Signature 600two, which I first tried. Happy at last. :) [/QUOTE]
