If I can help you any in your decision, let me know.

Scott, I'm a big infinity fan. I heard the Kappa's and I was impressed.
Someone told me that the Kappa's sounds better than the Perfect 6.1.
I have yet to hear the Perfects. I'm leaning towards the infinity
for the fronts bridged with a JL 300/4, JL 500/1 running (2) JL
10W6V2 subs. Can you tell me who built you sub box ??
