Always use mark 2 Powerlink cables for Beolab 5 (or for any speakers with displays, eg. Pentas). Whereas the Pentas will work on mark 3 cables without the displays, the 'Lab 5 will do nothing (except show a misleading green light!) You can't normally go wrong with mark 2 cables, I know Lee at LifeStyle AV always stocks these out of preference, as they will work in any situation.
Sorry for harping on about cables, but it is worth getting these right to make the most of your investment when buying such a powerful and capable speaker as the Five.
Best regards,
Steve.
