A little over a month ago I purchased a pair of Kappa 9’s and have been doing some upgrades on the capacitors and inspecting all the wires and driver connections on both speakers. One thing I found that was odd is the Semit tweeters on both speakers are not wired directly to the high tweeter crossover connection but instead are wired in series to the front Emit tweeter just below it.
The two wires coming from the crossover that should be connected to the Semit were just left unconnected in the speaker. The Emit tweeter is connected to the correct wires from the crossover but the Semits are just connected to the Emits. The wiring is identical in both speakers.
The speakers don't appear as though they have been modified. The solder connections and wires all look original and both tweeters felt like they had not been previously removed. Is it possible they came from Infinity this way? The person I bought the K9’s from knew the original owner and swore no work had been done except a woofer re-foam.
I do plan on reconnecting the Semits as per the schematic but wanted to know if anyone else has seen this before?
