Hi all, I have a set of working (yah, replaced broken beolab 150 amp) Beolab Penta Mk1's that I want to connect to my home stereo system (I have a house wired BOSE stereo system, which has a line output, its a BOSE DXA2120 amplifier thats in my ceiling) Is it possible to wire the output of this amp (non powered output) to a wall mounted volume control knob?
Thanks

After re-reading my original post this morning I realized I should of been more clearer in my explanation of what I'm trying to achieve.
Currently I have a B&O overture, one pair of working beolab penta mk1's and a Bose 100v home ceiling speaker setup with a bluetooth aux-in connection (connected to an old android tablet playing mp3s). Currently the pentas are not cabled up to anything (just got them working again) and the overure is used when i want to listen to cds or the radio by using the headphone output plugged into one of the aux inputs on the bose dxa2120 amp. And when we listen to mp3s the tablet plays through the bose amp.
I would like to have the ability to play the pentas at the same time as the ceiling speakers (the bose setup) .
I've come up with a few possible setups, but need some advice.
Setup 1
Bluetooth aux in (mp3 player) connected to the aux in the back of the overture, and the headphone out of the overture to the bose amp, and the bose amp aux out plugged into the pentas, need an inline rca wall volume control to control the volume of the pentas.
Setup 2
Bluetooth aux in (mp3 player) connected to the aux in of the bose amp (the way its currently connected) , the headphone out of the overture to the bose amp (the way its currently connected) and the pentas connected by way of powerlink to speakerlink adapters. (can I send audio out to the headphone and powerlink at the same time?)
Or can I use the masterlink output to send audio out to multiple devices at the same time?
Or do I need more equipment? Beolink passive amp? I just bought a Beolink PC2 this morning, can I use this to achieve my goals?
I hope someone out there can help me with this setup.
I solved this problem by buying some Amazon Echo dots and connecting them to all the speakers in each room. This give me the ability to play on all speakers or just different groups of speakers I have set up
