I'm currently listening to my iPod connected via a simple minijack to stereo L-R RCA cable plugged into the TP2 jacks and it sounds fantastic. 

I can vote for Beovox M150 and even though I have S80.2 and S120 I would not use them for anything with the true power of a BM8000 which Dillen have measured to about 192 watts or so if I recall correctly.

this bm800 are truly piece of art, I love b&o product from combining art & technologies together 

i plug my bs6 mp3 or with my bs2000 century,,  it sounded amazing!

But if there's a way for me to improve the sound quality of my bm8000 to the next level or from connect the beosystem3 into the bm8000,  then the beosystem3 will set as a pre-amplifier, or as anexternal equalizer digital sound processing to improve the sound of the bm8000..  

Not like I'm try to connect my bm800 with the mcintosh pre-amp or something.  

So   I get to improve the sound and still remain the system as original. From b&o. Without any mix and match with different audio brands..  So why not??

This may sound crazy, but speaking of mixing and matching B&O, I decided to play around a bit and see how the combination of the BS9000 as a pre-amp/CD player and the BM8000 connected to my XPL-140s would sound. All I can say is WOW. As silly as that combination is, it sounds terrific!

bs9000 mix with bm8000?   course that'll add more juice to the beomaster .  plug the turntable or the beocord into the bm8000 will reduce the flavor of it.  due to thr sound quality doesnt met our requirement of this modern day  with lazer cd player stream music mp3.

i tried my bs6 with the bm8000,  the sound came out crystal clear due to b&o with high quality mp3,  but not enough power from the bs6 mp3.

when i mix the   bs6 + bs century + bm800 = terrific sound quality & power!  

but for myself  i'm thinking that  fron the combination above aren't best yet,  due to the beosound doesnt come with that much for the sound filter or equalizer.

ms150 sound that good??

have you ever remove one of beolab of this day and find out the quality of this today speaker drivers and IC crossover??  

totally understand that the bm8000 are from the 80's  but if we still wanna remain the bm8000 and pair with the  80's speakers with 80's crossover, then our bm8000 reach the sound quality of this modern day music.

I've remove my beolab speaker amp,  and soldered It with the beolab crossover,  sound amazed me.

paring beovox penta with the bm8000,   I've tried and still leave it that way now.

still seeking for the ms150.

 but if you gonna use the penta,  don't leave the penta stand for the floor,  try to set it on a table side by side,  I promise you penta will increase another 30- 40% of sound quality,  due to vertical make all the tweeters & woofer staying narrow not wide range.

Not so sure about some of your assertions. The BS9000 will produce a line level signal as will the BS3000 so both should give a similar output. The BS6 will be using the headphone output and I can understand it being a little lower as well as not that great. Not sure adding a BS3 into the mix is gointo do much - the 8000 is a stereo amplifier - unless you have a number, how are you going to get 7.1 sound out of it. All you will achieve is more electronics in the pathway which will diminish the sound quality to my way of thinking.

Lying the Pentas down cannot be practical and I don't see that it will improve the sound quality. The secret with Pentas is to sit down so you are on a level with the tweeters which are very directional. The midrange and woofers are much less and are not really going to improve with horizontal placement. The major issue with Pentas is the small size of the woofers and the lack of ability to move a lot of air. Having said this, they still do a pretty good job and are one of my favourites!

set the penta down and find out the different peter.

about the bs3,  i will try either of this ways.

bs3 to bm8000 to speakers

bm8000 to bs3 to speakers

from what you just said,  if plug the bs3 into the bm8000 by remove those 2 clams on the left side of the bm8000 for external equalizer or filter will not make that much in different even though the bs3 came with digital sound processing ??.
