Hi
i have a B&O 9500 which is looking and working great, I am running a pair of RL45 with the unit and my question is can I run a second set of speakers from the unit? If so would they need to be another set of RL45's or could I add a set of RL60 along side?
look forward to hearing from you

You can!
You can run (almost) any passive speaker with the 9500.

There is a tv - and there is a BV

Be careful with connection of a second of RL speakers. The BC9500 speaker out has an impedance of 8 ohms - afair - and the RL series speakers are also 8 ohms. You can connect a second pair of RLs in parallel, which will result in 16 ohms, but avoid to connect them in series (4 ohms) which might kill the amp...(?)
I wouldn`t use the SPEAKER 2 outputs. They are meant for a passive link system called MCL and can`t be muted.

Actually, it's the other way around.
The 9500 will handle four 8 ohm speakers (two pairs) fine.It was designed for multiroom use and it doesn't matter if the speakers are all in the same room or not.

Actually, Martin is right here, of course....
