This is a popular enquiry in our store, as a large number of people have 1990’s era B&O speakers (typically Beolab 8000 and 6000) which were previously used with a B&O TV but which are now redundant due to the TV becoming obsolete. A stylish and effective surround sound system can be built from these speakers by adding an AV receiver with pre-out sockets, along with any modern TV or projector.

I would suggest looking at the Pioneer SC-LX59, Denon AVR-X3400, Yamaha RX-A830 or RX-V775 AV processors/receivers, all of which have audio pre-out sockets for easy connection of Beolab speakers for a Dolby surround sound setup.

You can connect stereo Beolab speakers (eg. the most popular Beolab 4000 mk.1, 6000, 8000, etc) to one of these processors using these cables (one set of cables is needed for each pair of speakers to be connected):-

If you have a Beolab 2 subwoofer, or a Beolab 7-x/Beolab 10 dedicated centre speakers, these each need a special powered cable to generate the trigger signals that would normally be sent from a B&O television:-

We can get any combination of B&O speakers working with any model of receiver, even if the receiver doesn’t have pre-out sockets fitted (in this case the following level converters are added):-
