Hey all. This is my first post and I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.
I own a pair of Infinity Kappa 8's probably bought in the early 90's. Recently I blew the sub of a speaker. Ouch.
I need help deciding where to go from here ie where to buy a new sub, how to install it and costs. I would also appreciate some advice on my audio system (I'm not that knowledgable and it would be useful to know if i have the right equipment). alternatively if i find replacement is not feasible, help on how to sell them and what price to expect.
Any help would be appreciated...
Regards
Brian

it's not really a question of money. i will have to spend what i can to get a working sound system again. whether the solution being replacing the speaker or selling what i have and buying a new one.
The NAD equipment that you currently have are great sounding and exceptionally well made. It would be a shame if you sell them and end up getting something less.
So I recommended that you keep them and save for new speakers. You do not gain anything by selling great equipment so you can get new crappy stuff.
The pre amp and the speakers were given to me, along with some other power amps that died. i bought the power amp. was told i actually needed two of them but one would do the job.
what about the option of replacing the sub? right now i am running both speakers without the one sub.
keep what other speakers? one of the subs of one of the speakers is finished. of course i can keep them. the point of this post was:

The first thing that you ned to do, being in New Zealand is to find out if you can even find a replacement subwoofer. If not, you need to save for a new set. I don't know what the market would be like in your area, but, there is little to no demand on broken Infinity speakers.
You listed an amp and a pre-amp... are these 2 working at all? If they are...then you really need nothing else but a new set of speakers.
