Does anyone know if there's an adaptor to connect the Beolab 4 PC version to an Ouverture?

I know they're lacking the powerlink socket - is this the only difference and if there a way to get round it?

Sure. You adapt the PL socket using the DIN-RCA adaptor. That gives you a left & right RCA coming off a single PL socket. Then you run an RCA cable to the speaker and adapt it to 3.5mm mono at the end. All should be available from Radio Shack or a similar store.

thanks for the quick reply, will the speakers auto power on in this setup?

They will. It will be just like connecting them to a PC from the standpoint of the speaker.

I like the Beolab 4s, and I don't  see why you'd pay $2000 (here in Australia) to get the powerlink version when the PC version for $1500 does exactly the same job!!
