Yes I have the labs, type 6703, USA. I will get a picture on here asap.

And yes I managed to get the brackets.

 

good for U , they're beautifull speakers indeed and good ones as well.

I do have a set as rears in our living room, daisychained them from my BS4 with fully wired powerlink cords for the display's on the BL5000

enjoy them !!

 

Both your 4500 and the 5000 are compatible with speakerlink that will allow full panel display.

However, I also recommend the powerlink mk2 to gain full display, as well as the opportunity to daisychain them. They are also readily available from a dealer or Sounds Heavenly (link below).

The powerlink cables I have only have 8 pins, and the speakers only have an 8 pin capacity. -?

I managed to get the manual off the officail B&O website.

And thank you all for the compliments.

That's correct.

What's your problem??

Small typo is the cause of the problem! You do say 9 pin in your post above! 😂

My apologies😳

Oh no worries graham. My problem however lies in the amplification, there are wires that have been cut, it looks like a lamp cord. I'm assuming this is the problem?

Sounds like your power amp wires have been cut. Maybe this is done because the speakers were used in a setup where the cables where hidden and cutting the wires was the easiest way to remove the speakers.

Can of course be fixed. Proper way would be to connect new wires to the amp. Alternatively you could try to use connectors to ad a new power wires to the existing ones. Should not be to big a deal to fix.

Good luck.

I'm not trying to insult your skills - but from the sound of this, for heaven's sake PLEASE get us a picture of what you're about to do before connecting mains power anywhere!

So all I will ultimately be doing is adding a wall plug?

No offense taken mika.

Im still going to get that picture everyone.
