A much cheaper solution is to use something like a Parasound Z Amp which can be set to stereo or bridged mono for a centre channel. All you need is a Powerlink to Phono cable which your dealer or someone like Steve @ Sounds Heavenly can make . I have recently used these for a couple of BeoSound 5 installs where ceiling speakers were being used and used 3 on a BeoSystem 3 where the setup had Bose in wall and ceiling speakers for the 5.1 setup.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/310365.aspxMon, 17 Jan 2011 22:06:47 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:310365MESM0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/310365.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=310365<p>Is it possible to use a Beolink passive to drive the center channel from a BS3?</p> <p>If this usage is possible:</p> <p>- The connection from BS3 to the Beolink Passive should be only by Powerlink? No use for the MasterLink?</p> <p>- How to drive/connect to the speaker? Beolink Passive drives left and right speakers, how to drive only one?<br />(I am considering a passive non BO center speaker - a Bose one - a temporary solution before a full fledge B&amp;O solution.)</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>MESM</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
