As far as I know, you need a type 1611 Beolink Converter for each MX. The 1611's should then be connected to the Avant with ML cable. You would also need to connect the MX's to the Avant with RF cable. Anybody with a different idea, 'cos I have never actually done this?

You could do but they would be expensive. Better to buy from Maplins or maybe even your local electrical retailer. They are very common items.

Mine does it as well. I hadn't noticed it before and I don't see it as a problem or a flaw. Just the design.

You will need a pair of Phono/Phono cables. One for left and one for right. (Phono = RCA in some countries) Use the line sockets in the Lab6000's and connect to the Pre Amp out sockets on the Beomaster.

Correct.

If you remove the cover from around the voltage selector you will find 8 fuses. Worth checking these first. You will need a Multimeter. CAUTION Unplug from mains supply first!

Sorry Craig, I misunderstood. My wife says I do a lot of that!!

The Beosound 9000 does not have datalink so that will not be a problem. To plug in direct you need a Beogram 3500, 4500, 6500 or 7000. To go via external RIAA you can use virtually any of the others.

Bingo: Will the 32 inch model fade out, because B&O upgrades that size so bad? I hope not. I really am comfortable with that size of screen.
