Hi, i bought a pair of Beolab 3 this week, and i am connecting them via the headphone socket on a  Marantz M-CR 610.

Although this works fine I'm getting grief from the other half about how it looks.

The supplier of the Marantz informs me i should be able to connect to the line level outputs. These are two RCA sockets one red and one white, No one can tell me however how to connect two Din plugs to these sockets.

Do these two sockets connect left and right channels.

Anyone had any success with this with connecting any active speakers .

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jack!

I have a similar setup. I have Beolab 3 speakers connected to RCA line level pre-outs on my Beomaster 5500. Each RCA output goes to one Beolab speaker.

You will need a specific cables to achieve this (powerlink to RCA). Contact Steve from SoundsHeavenly (he sponsors this site) and I'm sure he'll be able to provide you with some cables.
