At the moment I have a Cona as part of my back sets of speakers which are Beovox 4500's connected through a MCL2P. My front speakers are BL 6000's. I am thinking about running the Cona as a bass speakers directly from the BV-8 through another MCL2p. Does anybody have any experience with a similar setup?

Nobody?

Sounds like a reasonable way to do things, although the Cona really doesn't handle LFE very well.

I use two Conas and power them through a separate power amp, but they only play music.
