The Avant is a Wisa transmitter. So you can connect the BeoLab 17 & 19 through Wisa to the Avant. Then you can integrate your Core with the Avant through the Beo-app.

You can make a 'Music' speaker group that excludes the Avant and make the Core use this speaker group so the Avant doesn't power up when you play music through the Core.

Thanks for your reply  

That would be absolutely great. 

Does that mean that without powering on the avant- I can just stream music from my devices?

how would I go about integrating the core with my avant?

is there any other settings I need to set on the Avant?

regards.

In that case the Avant is the hub - it has to be on - but doesn’t necsessaryly show a picture.

The sources of the Core will be available through the tv/as sources there - can be activated via the remote, the app or AirPlay...

An integrated Core is set up in the same home network - can be wireless (if wireless is working well in your case).

The integration is configured in the tv menu and in the Bang & Olufsen app for the Core.

For the specific sources of the Core you can make a Speakers Group with these new, additional....or with any of the connected speakers.

One benefit is that you - dependent on the placement -  can let these speaker be a part of a 7.0 multi channel setup for video.

But - if your preference is that you won’t want to engage the tv at all - this won’t work.

Then you would have to make two seperate setups!

(Note: you would - in that case - still be able to use the sources of the Core via the tv....if you should want to.

However, these additional speakers would be only for the Core).

Thanks. 

The additional speakers should be used for both tv and music. I guess that I would be okay with just selecting the source on the remote without any need for additional actions? - so I just select the source while the tv is off and that should be enough?

What kind of cable do I need to connect the avant to the core?

In case I can’t live with the fact that I need to select the source can I then just buy a transmitter 1 and connect that to the core with a cable?

can the speakers be connected to both the tv and the core at the same time wireless?

1 - Yes, (when correct set up) it works from standby.

One example: when you start playing from Spotify (the Connect version), the tv is activated, the choosen Speaker Group turns on and the tv will display the metadata from Spotify....you can deactivate that, if you want - in order to have a muted screen. The volume is controlled with your remote (or in the B&O app).

2 - Both devices are setup as part of the same (home) network, wired or wireless. The Core can be located in another room, if that is needed.

3 - No, you can not connect/use the speakers (wireless) for both devices at the same time.

1. Does that also work if just select the speak group while the tv is on standby and play the music directly from tidal from my phone?

2. Perfect..

3. I wouldn’t use the speakers for both on the same time. The idea was that if I wasn’t watching Tv I could stream music instead. The speakers would have to be paired/connected to both the tv and transmitter at the same time but only one would be in active use at a time.

1 - You don’t choose a Speaker Group when starting from standby - the tv starts in the group, that was choosen as default. You can change to another Speaker Group anytime, you want - using the remote - once the playback has started.

As for streaming Tidal from the app on your mobile device (or computer), you have to choose how to stream from there. The Core supports AirPlay, Chromecasting, bluetooth. Once that is done, shortly after the music will start to play.

Note: what is described here is when the Core is integrated - there are other ways to get the sound from a Core to the tv.

3 - I see what you mean........but the answer is still no - you can not do that!

1. So that would actually be cumbersome too, if I had to start and select the speaker group unless the standard is for all speakers. Right now I have my Apple TV connected to the avant and I can already airplay the music that way after startup  

Seems that the core won’t bring me any additional features as I have the applets already. 

3. Bummer. 

‘Is there anyway I can accomplish what I want? Use the speakers for my tv but also use the speakers for music streaming without the need to start the tv. I’d like to be able to (if possible) to just launch my music app on my phone and airplay the music to the speakers without too much hassle.

One option would be to let go of the wireless connections.

With the BL20, you can connect the TV through PowerLink en the Core though optical. The PowerLink connection is higher in the hierarchy than the optical connection, so if you play music through the Core, the TV cannot be set to speaker 2 or 4, only to 1 (so the extra speakers aren't used). When you select speaker 2 or 4 on the Avant, all speakers will be used by the Avant.

I can only assume this goes for the 17 en 19 as well. But you'll loose the wireless.
