- Some have bashed Infinity, but I think their 'kappa' type speakers are
- just dandy. I've had 8k s for 2 years now and I love 'em. The highs are
- very clean, and they distribute the sound very well around the room. You
- mentioned a 120wpc amp. This is not good. I overload my 130wpc amp all
- the time on transients. Infinity wants 250wpc for the 8k s. Does anybody
- know why? I figure it's because there are 5 drivers in each channel and
- gobs of current is required. Have fun and listen to them all before
- buying.
