If I connect these beautiful Beolab 8 to an old sound system like Beosystem 6500 or the like, can I stream the music from that sound system across all wireless speakers in the house? (easily?)

Hi,
Yes, but you would need to use the USB-C line input of the Beolab for this, not the Powerlink input (as the Powerlink input disables the smart features of the speaker). Please feel free to get in touch at https://soundsheavenly.com with the full details of your setup and I can help with the connections.
Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks Steve. They are not as smart as I thought then. :-) When B&O says that Beolab 8 can orchestrate classic music system, I thought it was possible to pilot the radio, CD, Vinyl from the app and stream it across multiple speakers. The promise of the Gateway, which unfortunately has never really worked for me... So I will pass.
