Thanks a lot for all the input. I have now several of the mentioned products on my Watchlist and are waiting for a good deal. Will come back once everything is in place and working.

Wow, thanks a lot for the information. Very appreciated. So if I understand correct I can choose from the following components:

Main Component:

• Beosound Essence Mk2 (cheap)
• BeoSound Core (medium)
• Beoconnect Core (expensive)

Amplifier:

• Beolink Passice (cheap)
• BeoAmp 2 (medium)

Speakers:

• Every cheap ceiling speaker will do

Correct?

If this assumption is correct, two more questions:

1. Are there any active ceiling speakers you are aware of, so that I can skip the Amplifier? My understanding is, no, as they would also need to speak “Powerlink”
2. If I have multiple Speakers (say 2 as stereo pair in the kitchen, maybe 1 in the guest toilette and maybe 2 in the dining room, I would need several “main components”, see above. There is no solution where I can have only one “main component” like a Beoconnect Core and drive 3 areas independently, correct?

Thanks for the fast response. So I understand you suggest the Beoconnect Core (new). I mentioned the BeoSound Core (legacy). Will the BeoSound Core be sufficient or is the Beoconnect Core needed? This first one is available for around 300-400 € at eBay where the later is > 1.000 €. Furthermore the BeoAmp 2 is also very expensive, more like 650 €. Therefore I tend for a 3rd party solution as it should be a budget solution. Its just for background music.

You mentioned Adapter Cables to run 3rd party Amplifier and Speakers. What would I need here?
