Great result - thanks for posting!  I was tempted to set up my BG6500 (Beoworld win!) with an MCL2AV to use in a similar arrangement but I never got around to it.

The MCL2AV really is a useful bit of kit, especially considering its age.  In addition to its role as part of an MCL system, it works as a stand-alone pre-amp that will accept most sources as inputs, plus provides full (2-way) remote datalink capability and provides a trigger to Beolabs.  Have you tested your 2-way remotes with it yet?  I think it will even work with an MCP.

My MCL system is working well after about 30 years of use; it includes a 30 meter MCL cable run outside the house including a section that is buried under the patio!

I was even able to start and stop play with the BL7000 with Source CD.

Meant to ask - can you also control it with source PHONO from the BL7000?

I have a hybrid system with ML and MCL. I have a Beosystem 7000 originally and then changed to a BC2 (apart from the DVD, not convinced was an upgrade) and used a Belink 7000 in a link room which gave limited two way control with the BC2!
