The 8000s (and 4000s, too) have a RCA line in.  You need a variable line-out (from a pre-amp).  I believe the speakers are line sensing so no trigger voltage is required.

Welcome, btw.  Mostly friendly folks round here.

You should use triggers in a min. 5.1 setup to avoid that the speakers turn off in low volume/no signal szenarios.

Please search for 5.1 setup with non B&O AVR on this forum.

Posting this from a smartphone, so only limited capabilities to support you.

Can try later....

Best regards

Does anyone know why they eliminated the LINE in socket on the BL4000 Mk II (ICE) version?   There is still a switch position labelled LINE.  e.g.
