I do respect the commitment that people have to these speakers 😁 I would not call this ‘a hack’….it is simply a description of how to use a (B&O) speaker, that had an external amplifier module, which failed. Back in the yesteryears I did that with my 5000’s - I used a Beolink Passive to power them. Some might still know that Peter Pan was a huge proponent for the Pentas. He had a pair connected to an ICEPower module for many years (he even had a spare set i the basement….just in case).
