Kit 2 separate channels Infinity Kappa 65.9cs Test and Review

The American brand has renewed its Infinity series upscale Kappa. Far from being a mere "restylisage" opens the new line Kappa number of improvements, including a new tweeter. The latter was designed to offer better sound imaging. For this test, we chose the model that should be the best selling: The Kappa 65.9cs.


In the tradition of Kappa products!

Kappa CS range is not set the highest end of Infinity. CS Series Kappa is a middle range. Enjoying the prestige of the speakers salon brand, Kappa CS range has a good reputation among his fans. Finishing, listening, online Kappa CS is always beautiful products. So what about this new kit K65.9cs broke?

Benefits: A very nice finish! 

Kappa 65.9cs kit is based on two separate channels of 16.5 cm woofer. As we said in the introduction, this new kit exploded not only a new look. Several elements have been changed to improve sound quality. Thus, the woofer uses a new magnetic motor with a long stroke spool to enhance recovery from serious. The coil is now in 2 ohms to get the most out of the original sources. The woofer is typically built on a steel chassis, supporting a magnetic medium. With a depth of 61 mm, HP is the norm and will return in most places of origin.

Made of fiberglass, the membrane remains faithful to the technology of Infinity Plus One usual to provide more surface emission. Thus, we get a better level of serious! The suspension is a conventional half-roll rubber. To protect the woofer (for mounting outside the original location), Infinity provides beautiful gates. Fabric finishing, central chrome grill with small, they give an aspect class and upscale this kit. For high frequencies, the 65.9cs Kappa uses a new tweeter. The latter was designed to provide a better response and better imaging. This is a soft dome broadband 45 mm. Covered with a beautiful chrome grille, this transducer tweeter does not lack pace.


Tissue, central chrome grilles supplied to provide a luxurious hand kit


No cable end as usual, the tweeter is fitted with screw terminals for direct connection of the cable quality. To facilitate the integration of high-tweeter in the car, Infinity delivers a comprehensive installation kit, with various media including a nifty built for the tweeter. The passive crossover is housed in a small box adopting him as a fine finish: chrome grille, a small plexiglass window. On the hood, a small switch sets the level of acute (0 or -6 dB). Practice, it avoids opening the filter to change the setting. True to the policy of Infinity, the present K65.9cs careful workmanship.

Discover and use: a good picture and sound very nice

From a features standpoint, this kit broke Infinity announced good numbers. He collects 85 Watts RMS. Its yield is high: 93 dB. This will allow it to function with a car or a power amplifier. Tested before the original source of a Fiat Stylo, he gave us a very good dynamic listening, very much higher than that of original HP. However, it is with a power amplifier, which is to make the most of this kit. The K65.9cs having a very good performance, we will not need a big amp for the lead and have good dynamics. Finally, the frequency response is wide: from 55 to 35,000 Hz resonant frequency is around the 70 Hz


The tweeters have to screw terminals for cable quality

Kappa 65.9cs descends into the grave, but its resonance frequency is high enough, it will be complemented by a system for the serious subwoofer, the latter lacking listening. However, the serious product is of good quality: firm, clear, rhythmic, ... The high and mid frequencies are reproduced. The sound is fine, natural and gentle. And this sweetness characteristic of Infinity speakers, makes listening very enjoyable. The sound is light and airy: it has a good sense of space between instruments. We also appreciate the tweeters broadband, which compensate quite well too big spaces between the woofer and tweeter (for example, woofer and tweeter is below the top of the dashboard). Whatever the music, there was always a pleasure to listen!

The notice of carentertainmentgeek.com

In terms of criticisms, it is noted mainly the need for a subwoofer channel to complement. It would also have liked a more rigid chassis than a cast iron frame. Meticulously designed, elegant finish, this new kit has two separate channels Infinity really well. Honours for grids, they are much more beautiful than the conventional metal grids! If you must use them, they will not break in a beautiful cabin. With K65.9cs we find pleasure listening soft music and clear of Infinity products. Finally, the price of 299 Euros is about average for a product like this.
