Hello,
after following the forum for some time, this is my first message, triggered by these tremendously helpful postings!
After my old Avant has stopped working I considered a long time buying a new B&O TV, mainly for linkroom connectivity (BL3500 and 2 BL2000) and the speakers/system in main room (BL8000, BL4000, BS3200) Finally I decided against and bought a Samsung TV given the picture quality/web-/tab-connectivty/pricing mix of B&O is just completely nowhere (even 2nd hand).
To get speakers and systems linked, I considered a while buying a 2nd hand BS1/BS2 only for sound, but your Onkyo-option seems a lot more interesting....The plan would be 1. to buy one of Onkyo-amplifiers, 2. connect all video sources/TV via HDMI to it, 3. connect all BL via Powerlink/RCA, 4. connect BS3200 via AUX.
My question is: The only shortcoming I see is that I couldn't access video sources in the link rooms (as Onkyo evidently has no Masterlink)...Is that right?Or are there any other surprises besides the speaker on/off problem mentioned before here? Eg, do the speakers automatically go on, if I use the BS3200 keyboard to play audio? Can I change audio volume on the BS3200? As I personnaly like very much the Beo4, I would use my Lintronic box to program it to the Onkyo IR-codes - is there any issue with that???
Thanks alot in advance for your sharing your experience with that!
