Beolab 6000 connecting to non B&O source

4 replies

Now this might seem like a really simple and stupid question but when using a pair of Beolab 6000 speakers with a non B&O source how do i go about connecting them? can i just run phono leads straight from my cd player? or must the signal pass through an amp first?

I haven't yet got a pair yet but im 80% there to buying a piar in the summer once i have finished uni for the summer break after months years of being a B&O fan i decided to go for speakers first and buy a B&O source later on well unless you all tell me it's impossible of course

 

 thanks for the help and sorry for easy question
 

ok i knew there some reason why i couldn't just connect my cd player straight to the speakers but couldn't remember what. So who makes cd players with built in volume control apart from B&O? as i might be able to find something on ebay to use until i can afford a B&O source.

All the portable cd player can make that.

You can connect a mp3 player too ( i do with my BL8000)
