Hi everyone, 

With BL4000 mk1 and connection to a non B&O setup (Yamaha receiver), is it better to use:

a) the powerlink to rca cables, or

b) just a regular RCA cable?

The speaker has 2 connections: powerlink and RCA.

I have connected RCA and set to line, but wondering if it would make any difference using a) above.

Thanks in advance

Michael

I have the BL4000 Mk1 (with switches) and the powerlink to RCA cables didn't work for me and B&O told me they only work with the MK2s. I switched to the RCA cables and they work really well with my Marantz amp.

Thanks for the confirmation Major.  It's just the manual when i was searching said to use PL to RCA.  I'm using RCA at the moment.  I switch the speakers between the amp and now have become a very good pair of speakers for the imac using RCA to 3.5mm jack.

 

Does anyone else have any experience with using PL to RCA cables with the Mk1 BL 4000?
