Good evening.  I have a somewhat odd question that I'm hopeful someone may be able to assist with.  I recently bought a flat and the previous owner had all B&O equipment and had an excellent job done of wiring all the A/V cords into the walls.  Redoing the A/V wiring job is quite difficult and costly, so I was hoping to re-use the speaker cables.  Does anyone have experience (1) passing an amplified signal through the 8 pin DIN powerlink cable and (2) if 1 is possible, any guidance as to which pins would be best to use to transmit the signal.

My naive approach would be to pick two pins and transmit the plus / minus signals down the cable and see if it works.

I'm hopeful that someone may have some advice for me.

Thanks very much for you assistance!

Interesting! Never had that one before! It does rather depend on the wiring used - there are a variety of Powerlink cables and not all of them use all the pins. I suggest looking here to see the layout of the wiring. However, the cable was really meant for line level signal rather than amplified and the cables are quite thin. I am not convinced these will be particularly suitable for your needs! You could always see if the wires would act as cable pulls for proper speaker wire!
