Thanks Jeff, i was expecting such kind of reply, yes i also feel the same , so soon going to finalize one preamp then will update, i have taken demo of 1 preamp which has impedence is very less, it was well matched. 

Hi Kallasar,

Forgive my ignorance in these matters, but this is my question:

I'd like to connect my Beosound 9000 CD player to a vintage Technics SA-700 amplifier (100 watts per channel), and then to my Beousound 8000 speakers. 

Is this going to work, are they compatible?

What should I research exactly for compatibility?

Would this be a "plug & play" option?

Thank you in advance for any lead you can provide me with!

Cheers, Martin

Hi Ralf,

This is my question: I'd like to ad to my BeoSound 9000 CD player a vintage Technics stereo reciever/amp and the connect my BeoSound 8000 speakers to the Technics amp. 

Is this possible, a "plug and play" option?

Thank you in advance for any advice,

Marrtin

Hi Martin,

You can use your SA-700 with beolab 8000 but not directly as 8000 is active speaker, if does your speakers will be damaged and blown away as each speaker has its own power amp, you need to connect it with the pre out of the SA-700 but i will recommend you better dedicated pre-amp for 8000 as 8000 are very refined speakers.

Hi Martin,

the BeoLab 8000 fit directly to the BeoSound9000 via PowerLink cables..

The BeoLabs are rated 140something Watts each so no need to use an additional amplifier 😕
