I am the original owner of these - bought them brand new in 1991. They
have been very, very well kept. It is unlikely that a pair of 8 Kappas
in better cosmetic or sonic shape can be found anywhere. I'm selling
them because I've decided to downsize to a pair of Infinity
Renaissance 80. I have made the following modifications to them (which
is why the rating of 8 rather than 9):

1) Custom 2-way stands (feet) with spikes. "2-way" because the factory
tilt can easily be removed by unbolting the feet and removing the shim
that gives the factory tilt. This action will place the speakers
exactly perpendicular to the floor.

2) Woofers re-foamed about 4 years ago. All drivers are original.

3) Crossover upgraded with Solen and Sonicap polypropylene capacitors.
There are absolutely no electrolytic capacitors anywhere in the
crossover network. Also, the level-control potentiometers have been
bypassed with fixed Mills resistors. All internal wiring is Monster
cable.

4) Factory binding posts have been replaced with Edison-Price Copper
binding posts.

I have the original boxes and packaging (yes, I've kept them for all
these years!) so there is no additional expense to box these. You may
send FedEx or UPS (or whomever) to come and pick them up. Or even
better, come by for them yourself if you're close to Dallas.

These are rather heavy at about 95 lbs/speaker (boxed.)
