I will re-configure the entire system around a pre-amp (not yet delivered) until such time as I can get the Beomaster8000 repaired. Until then, no receiver (radio) but some stations such as NPR are available on line.

Thanks, but the Beomaster8000 needs repair.
I also have a Beomaster2400.
- Is the headphone jack on a Beomaster2400 the equivalent of a preamp?
- The BM2400 has significantly less power than my BM8000:
- 30W with 2 speakers or 15W with 4 speakers.
- Do I need to connect 4 speakers to drop the power to 15W, or,
- do I simply need to move the 2nd speakers switch from Off to On?
- Can I connect the Beolab8000 speakers directly to the 2nd speakers connection on the BM2400?
As far as I’m aware the beomaster 2400 doesn’t have a powerlink or line level output. Connecting your beolab 8000s to the speaker level outputs on that amp would simply replicate the issue you had with your beomaster 8000.
You need something like this:

I agree with Steve's solution. Unfortunately, I need to fix my Beomaster 8000.
