Hi Martin.

They are connected directly to the Avant.πŸ€—

And i use a ML/MCL amp to drive 2 beovox 3000 as rear surround speakers.😊

I tried to do that.

I too have the ML/MCL converter.

Can you confirm the pins for the Penta cable on the converter has a 3 pint input. Did you have to cut 1 of the 4 pins on the cable?

I remember that the the b&o guy cut some wires, but can't remember where...β˜ΊοΈπŸ‘ŒπŸ»

If you want the Avant to switch on the ML/MCL converter, you need to switch 2 wires in one of the connectors. The yellow and the grey (Pin1 & 4).

That should work πŸ‘
