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.

If I had to do any cables I would prefer to minimize them as my speakers are already mounted on the wall and cables would mean a lot of extra work to hide them.

1. 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. 

I guess that depends on what you are trying to achieve.

I had the impression that you had decided for the Core - and did not question that!

Using AirPlay/ATV for music however, would mean that you will have to mute the screen (unless you dig it being on) and you’d have to change the Speaker Group manually (unless you want to listen to music with the same sound configuration as when you watch movies)...

.....and you would have to push a button on the remote in order to activate the ATV input port..

But, that is something you might be able to live with - when AirPlay is all you need....and no Core.

Yes, the PL-switch is a possibility.....that I did not mention, because Cyberg from the start wrote, that he wanted to go all wireless.

Just curious - can't you connect a Powerlink switch to the Transmitter One?

So Core + Avant to Powerlink In; Transmitter 1 to Powerlink Out? Or would this create a delay?

Worth a try!?

Not sure whether the WiSA from the Avant -> speakers and WiSA from the Transmitter 1 -> the added speaker/BL17 can coexist or not?

I guess only trying out might show that.

Actually here in DK they are running a promotion on the BL17 and BL18 with core for free. So i was thinking about adding on either of the two set.

Have a look at the Almando Powerlink switches. That should be able to solve your problem. They even have Wisa compatible devices according to their website.

If possible at all I would prefer not to do any cables.

Hi Cyberc,

You can link the Core to the TV, then you don't need a direct link between the Core and the speakers.  Depending on the version of Avant that you have, this may be possible as a wireless link over the B&O network.  If you can't get the Core to link wirelessly to the TV, please let me know and I can provide a cable to connect the Core to the TV to share the speakers.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Steve

If I integrate the core with the Avant, then I would still need to power on the avant right? My avant is a 75" is that is enough info?

You can also configure the TR1 as a Wisa switch and connect the Core and the TV to it and use your BL wireless.

Could you elaborate at bit more about this solution?
