Advice needed on NL/ML setup

[CharlieWednesday]

After prevaricating for a while on getting a big TV, I decided my office is too small for a really big TV, so I have bought a Beovision 11-46, which I will collect in a few days, and I will continue to use my projector for the cinema experience when needed.  I am off work this coming week too so plan to reorganise my office ready for its arrival, so hopefully I can plug it straight in and link it together with my other equipment when I get the TV here.  I will have:

• Beovision 11-46
• Beosound 9000 Mk2, with Beogram 4500 connected as Aux
• Beosound 5 (set as an audio slave)
• Beolink Converter NL/ML
• Beolab 3000 as front surround speakers
• Beolab Penta as rear surround speakers
• Beolab 3 as subwoofer
• Potential (if it’s possible) Beolab 7.4 as a cinema centre speaker when using projector
• A Kramer HDMI Matrix which will allow me to connect my HDMI sources to both the TV and the projector

The only thing I am missing is some adapters to connect my older Powerlink Mk2 cables to the BV11’s newer Powerlink sockets – I have one adapter but think I’ll need 3 more.

I’m assuming that if I connect the speakers to the BV11, then connect the BS9000 and BS5 via the Beolink ConverterNL/ML , I should be able to hear everything via the speakers connected to the TV; am I right in that assumption?

I’m also assuming that the BV11 Powelink cables will still drive the displays on my BL3000 and BL Penta speakers – does anyone know if this is the case?

Note that if using a BS5 as an audio slave might be too complicated via an NL/ML converter, I also have a BS Moment, but I still prefer the BS5 over it.

If I can get all this set up and I’m happy with it, I might finally stop buying stuff and reorganising my office over and over again!
