i'd say infinity hands down I'm not to fond of stuff you buy at tweeter and other places like that I buy all my stuff from a car audio shop and they are all mmats if you can afford it. I know the kappa's sound good thought.
Neither...for the money you can do better.
Infinity are thin and harsh sounding IMO. The Alpines are much better speakers then the Infinity's but for the money you can buy better speakers then both of those. I say this from my personal experience with those speakers and several others I've tested in my T/A. I've used 3 different pairs of Infinity's before I sold them off. The Alpines were ok. Bostons sounded good to me. JL's were a disappointment for the amount of coin I put in them.
My CDT's are great with aftermarket amplification for crystal clear highs and great bass. There are other companies like Focal, Rainbow, Boston Acoustic, JBL, and several others that sound better then the 2 mentioned and are still in the same price range.

I would have to say go with Elemental Designs.
the money savings is huge and the sound quality is amazing on all of ED products
I have Ed in my car and love them.
I am upgrading to the new e9.65i series this spring retail from website only right now is like 185.00
Step down is the e3.65i series for around 135.00
you wont be disappointed in the ED products

Damnit. I am about to replace my crappy old pioneer components, and was looking at the Infinity's.
I'm going to have to investigate these others now...
As for the original question, remember that the infinity's are probably 2ohm, and the alpines are probably 4 ohm. May make a difference depending on what you're pushing them with...
