    I could be mistaken, but I don't think the Kappa 70 was actually sold in the US market. Pretty sure it was a European model only. Beautiful set of speakers though. The equivalent of $400 USD is on the low end of what I've seen them sell for in other countries, so I'd say it's a good deal. Never had a chance to listen to them but they've always received positive reviews, even from the European market which tends to frown upon anything not made in Europe.

    Interesting looking speaker! I sure didn't see much information about it online. At least not in English that is.

    There is a pair on the bay with a BIN of 5 bills right now. With this information"

    Up for auction are these 2 Infinity Kappa 70 Speakers. They are very EXPENSIVE high quality speakers, with perfect PERFORMANCE.

    They are 36 1/2" high, 10 1/2 " deep, 10 1/2 " wide in front, and 6 1/2 " wide in back. The cabinet is made of particle board with black painted oak veneer.

    The vent pipe, is on the back of these speakers.

    The speakers are made in Denmark (Europe) and I brought them over here when I moved to USA.
