So is the BeoAmp 16 only for powering passive speakers?

These kinds of items always fascinate me about B&O. That is, how many of these little known, little publicized "hidden" gems are in the B&O portfolio.

User Guide, please!!!!

I can't figure out how to attach a .pdf; 

I don't know how either, but maybe if you have some sort of cloud storage (e.g. Dropbox....), that you could link to - to share it from there?

How about the external control and status for this ? do you now the part number?

thanks

I've found a photo of the device:

Had a chat with my local B&O retailer today regarding the BeoAmp 16 and they were very helpful.

My new property will have passive ceiling mounted speakers, installed by the developer, and the BeoAmp would allow me to 'zone' these speakers by room.

I was quoted £2500 for the BeoAmp 16 but told I'd also need an Essence, for each zone, connected to the BeoAmp. So this setup would be £4860...

Is there any other way to control the BeoAmp or is connecting multiple Essence's the prescribed route? If so it seems like an oversight that the Essence wasn't built into the BeoAmp from the beginning...

Here is a bit more information:
