There are many ways to Rome here, but I would have connected the BS9k to the BL5 by power link and S/PDIF - and used the phono conn for hooking the BL5&#39;s up the your AVR receiver. Not sure how successfull this integration will be when it comes to sound quality, I guess mixing passive amplification of the in-wall Polk Audio with the BL5&#39;s will be a challenge no matter how you attack this task.</p> <p>The BeoSystem 3&nbsp;should drive the Panny and the beamer without any problem. </p> <p>My option A would be&nbsp;getting a BeoLab center and a pair of BeoLab rear&#39;s and swap them with the&nbsp;Polk Audio, but&nbsp;as these are in-wall speakers you may&nbsp;want to consider option B: Buy a BeoLab center speaker and a B&amp;O amplifier for the&nbsp;in-wall rears, so you can control&nbsp;the sound from the BeoSystem 3.&nbsp;Spending the money on a BeoLab center speaker instead of&nbsp;an AVR receiver would be my recommendation here.</p> <p>Roger&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/332860.aspxThu, 28 Jul 2011 13:31:49 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:332860Angelos0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/332860.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=332860<p>Hi to everybody,</p> <p>please let me know if this is possibe to mix B&amp;O system with different manufacturers.</p> <p>Sources : Oppo Blu-ray player and Sat HD receiver.<br />Displays: Panasonic 65VT30 and JVC DLA-X7 projector.<br />Central and surround speakers: In-wall Polk Audio<br />B&amp;O Source: Beosound 9000 (CD and FM)<br />B&amp;O Front speakers: Beolab 5</p> <p>I&#39;d like to have Beolab 5 in front, Beosound 9000 as CD and FM source and Beosystem 3 as the controler.</p> <p>Than connect Beosystem 3 to new Panasonic Plasma screen 65VT30 and JVC X7 projector as video outputs.<br />use central and surround in-wall speakers from Polk Audio. </p> <p>I just want to have an opportunity to listen stereo sound from Beolab 5 and Beosound 9000 and use them in Home Cinema application .</p> <p>Should I use an AVR receiver to drive those surround and central speaker? Is this configuration correct?<br />May I expect any problems connecting Beosystem 3 to Panasonic and JVC?</p> <p>Please advise.<br />Thanks.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
