I wish it were that easy. The previous owners did not install the system and they knew little about it.

Hello,

Why don't you just contact the previous owner and aske what set-up they had and maybe get some more details on how the experienced using the system...

Cheers

Kinda have two discussions of the same topic goin on now, but I'm gettin good info so I will just go with it.

Attached pics again of everything that I have found in the house thus far.

First pic, Volume dial, light switch, and B&O box above with mute and start. Second pic, typical speaker that is mounted in several rooms. As I said there are probably 12-16 speakers throughout the house. When I removed the volume control from the wall it had a small box attached to the back of it with several wires going in and out. I am truly an amateur when it comes to these things. From what I have gathered it sounds like there is a good chance all I need to do is hook this system up to a Beocenter 9500 and it should work, and a small chance I may be missing something. Is this a decent assumption?

You have an MCL2 type set up - it will be interesting to know what else you have around! These conduct amplified signal around the house. A 9500 would be a perfect device for this type of set up as would a Beosystem 7000.

The pic is rather small... looks like 2 and 3 pin plugs...

The 2 pin would be in SPK1 slot to drive local speakers, the 3 pin would be in SPK2 to drive a link system.

Also, neither of these are "Powerlink cables." I would refer to the 2 pin as: Speaker cable [not to be confused w/ Speakerlink!], and the 3 pin as: Master Control Link cable.

If you are interested, there is a good bit of info over here for link setups!

I just bought a house with a B&O speaker system mounted in the walls of several rooms. In living room there are 4 cables coming out of the wall (as pictured above). Do these cables connect directly to a Beocenter 8500 or 9500 to run this speaker system? Or will I need some sort of adapter?

Thank your for any helpful information.
