Hi

I was wanting to connect the above speakers (lab8000) to the beosystem 5500, however It does not seem to have power link, will I have to use the special cables that plug into speaker din sockets, or would you take the opportunity to upgrade the audio system

It's easiest by far to switch the Lab8000 to LINE mode and connect with RCA cables to the preamp outputs of the Beomaster 5500, nothing extra needed.

The preamp outputs on 5500 are attenuated speaker outputs from the power amp, not a real preamp signal. So this isn't the most sensible combination, but it will work.
