I have a pair of kappa 6.5 ran by a us acoustics 4 channel amp. for some reason, they give me a huge headache and make my ears hurt when i listen to them. is there anything i can do short of replacing these speakers. Has anyone had this problem and found a good alternative? |

anything turned up too loud will give you a heacache.
You may also have them wired out of phase, or any number of other issues.
have a qualified installer listen to the system and see if s/he hears anything out of whack. The installer can then suggest possible problems.
It's hard to do from here though.

unfortunately, the kappa coaxes have an electronic passive x-over... any other suggestions? I've spent alot of time on this, and i am on the verge of buying an new pair of speakers. |

tune the speakers with the gain controls on the amp. Set the gains where the speakers play at a comfortable level for you when you have the HU cranked. |
