Welcome to BeoWorld!

I would use a link

Or, perhaps

thanks a lot.

So it can power maximum 30w per channel which means the B&W 805 will not get enough power to show its full sound capacity then...

will I be able to connect other amplifiers such as Marantz to beosound 9000?

I believe you could attach an external amp.

9000 -> PL -to- RCA adapter -> amp

The 9000 would function as tuner/CD source to the amp.

You may need to alter OPTION settings on the 9000???

Anyone else?

Jeff is correct, you just need one of these. As far as I know you will not need to change any settings either

Thanks. I think finally I will choose a beolab 3!!!

Well, that certainly is another solution! 😂

Have you considered adding a BL2 or the new BL11?

it is a question of wallet but not taste. I love the look of beolab 11 not the price

If you like the B&W 805, I would get that. Why not simply use a decent power amp - the Quad 405 springs to mind as an easy fix - all remote control will be via the Beosound.

The 805 and BeoLab 3 are two quite different speakers - both fantastic in their own different way, mainly as a result of the Acoustic Lens (which makes the BeoLab 3 extremely different in it's character).

B&W speakers tend to be extremely picky about the amplifiers you power them with, and I'd say Marantz is a no-no (I've had experience of this exact combination lately). Look at Classé, Bryston or at the least, Rotel amplifiers. Once you've found a sound which works for you, integrating the amplifier shouldn't be an issue.

BeoLab 3s are the simplest solution to go down in terms of plug-in-and-go, but as above, they are really quite different in the way they sound...
