Beomaster 6500 and 7000 had powerlink 5500 did not.  Beomaster 3500 and 4500 had powerlink as did Beocenter 9500, 8500 and 9300 and all the upright  Beocenters and Beosounds with dual sliding glass doors.

If you define "meant" as which system has the most pictures with the BL8000s on-line, then that would most likely be the BS9000 (although I can't prove this).

I find that easy to answer:

Anything Beomaster, Beosound (without builtin speakers), Beocenter, Beovision ......rom the 3500/6500 generation and up untill now.

The newer devices can be used with a Powerlink adapter RJ45 to DIN.

MM,

That assumes you know the generations. For example Beomaster 4500 has Powerlink. Beomaster 5500 sounds newer, due to numbering, but does not have Powerlink.

You are right - but that should be fairly easy to do a google-search for.

Maybe fizz only looked for vintage models 🙂

The version Nomenclature confuses me, I never know what is newer vs older.

I have been searching images but I'm really interested in finding a system that can drive all four speakers.

If you're using PL cables and all 4 speakers are BL8000s, you can drive all speakers from any of the suggested sources if you use some PL splitters.  Each PL cable carries both L and R channels.  This is why they have a switch for L or R.  Some BLs (e.g. 1s, 4000s maybe others) allow you to "daisy chain" your speakers (BS connects to speaker 1, then speaker 1 connects to speaker 2, etc.).  For speakers like the BL8000s with only a single PL socket, you can get PL splitters from B&O or Sounds Heavenly.  This allows all speakers to play the same music.  If you want to control the speakers separately, then that's a different story.
