I am out of my depth with the AV9000 but with my set up the products come with a pre-amplifier built in which controls volume, bass treble etc. Therefore use the Beo4 or whatever remote you are using. All the Detoma does is the power amp business. Which is great as you just need the Beo4! You'll need to check your AV9000 has a pre-amp module. I'm

Hi you might also consider a Detoma A102 power amp which is incredibly sweet and also very stylish. It accepts a powerlink input and can power a set of passive speakers. I have one linked to my Beocenter 1 which powers a set of passive speakers and my BC1 is also fed by a BS3000. The detoma is available in the UK and I can not praise it higher. I found

Dear Chums I would like to throw my dilema open to your huge experience please. I've got a BC1 and BS3000 downstairs in the living room that is powering a Detoma power amp and non B & O passive speakers.

At low/moderate volumes I could tell the difference in clarity and depth of sound between the two. I have tried to like the sound

It's nuts and I agree with Bayerische. I went to my dealer in Chichester yesterday to audition a pair of BL8000 and the number 2 there said that he didn't have any in - not even demo's as they were at another function?!! Come on - this is the most popular speaker in the B & O range and my dealer didn't have any in!! Re-Apple - I

Dear All Registered today - thank you for approving membership to Beoworld. Question/dilema. Got Beocenter 1, Beosound 3000. Love both, and got a Detoma A102 power amp feeding my 10 year old £150 Eltax liberty 3+ passive speakers. My dilema is that I crave the BeoLab 8000 for aesthetics, treble and midrange, yet feel that upgrading my passive
