I have been listening for some time to my Carver CM 1090 integrated paired with some infinity sm-152's but have always wanted something more. Today I drove 2 hours and picked up a pair of Infinity Kappa 8's in excellent condition for 400$. The drivers are all in great condition. Now the question is... now what? I have gathered the kappa's require high quality power and lots of it. I really dont know how my cm 1090 would perform with the kappa's as it is in for repair. I did pick up an Adcom gtp-600 preamp some time ago and have heard they are pretty solid. Im on a budget but want to treat these kappa's right and have been browsing around looking for the right amp to feed 'em. Any suggestions for a suitable power amp for these for an aspiring audiophile on a budget would be very much appreciated :)
