Festive greetings to you all!

just joined and hoping you B&O experts can help as I’ve not used this equipment before. 

Got an opportunity to buy a used Beolab 50 at a great price but want to know how/if it will work with my setup.

proposed setup:

1. Connect to Samsung Q90 TV- would I be able to connect via optical on TV to  spdif on B&O and if so can I still use TV remove for volume. Sorry if I’m being naive 

2. connect turntable to RCA on B&O

3. connect Sony high end digital streamer optical to optical on B&O

Any help appreciated as don’t want to make an expensive mistake.

Welcome, Vissim!

If you wouldn’t mind, could you share the price you paid? I’m attempting to track the market a bit and understand the price range.

Cheers.

Sure- not bought them yet as I need to get answers to my questions but they are 2 year old and expect price to be £13,000

Thanks for quick message response. I had seen this document which had some great data but to be honest I still struggled to get clear answers from it to my 3 setup questions hence hoping the forum could give quick responses. I could ask a dealer but as I’m buying it used/privately I didn’t think that was fair on them.
