An MCP5500 will work - but only one way. You will be able to control the system but you won't get feedback.

I have put both the Mk1 and the Mk2 service manuals on site.

Very surprised - the Beolab 5 has always amazed me - there are two particular tricks it has: 1. The bass is immense but doesn't soiund as if it is. This is because it is so accurate and detailed - the problem with this is you play them louder than you mean. 2. They disappear - with your eyes closed it really is difficult to place them. This is the

The big advantage of B&O is the way it all works together. The speakers do look very good but are really best used a part of a B&O system. That way you don't have to worry about using different remotes or getting adapters. The 8002 is a new release so you are correct in saying that there are no reviews.
