There are some issues with them switching off if they receive no signal but this can be fixed as well by all accounts. </p> <p>You should have sourced the pads from Lee who would have been cheaper and quicker. </p> <p>Not sure Apple TV and the BS5 are really the same product but I can understand your frustration.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/224305.aspxTue, 01 Sep 2009 19:37:14 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:224305mfirst0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/224305.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=224305<p>As I start moving away from B&amp;O as my main system into something else (may towards a product line from a company that &quot;get&#39;s it&quot;..... waiting now over 3 months for the replacement foam pads, that I spent a fortune on, for my headphone..... told they need to be shipped from Denmark and that they would look into it..... my interest in a Beosystem 5 faded - got an Apple TV instead and so far love it!) - now I am looking for a pre-amp to connect my Aux stuff into (since my 3200 only has 1 input as we all know and the cheap switch box just doesnt cut it). &nbsp;Has anyone had any experience in connected the powered Beolabs (8000 and 2) into a pre-amp? &nbsp;I know they have the RCA inputs - but what about the signal/power strength and how does a Lab 2 fit into all of this..... &nbsp; I am being pulled towards the McIntosh systems - talk about beautiful!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>-michael</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
