New Speakers and Power Link problem

I think I know the answer to this question, but in case I am missing something....Am installing a new pair of Beolab 12-3s as rears to replace my 4000s.  I have in wall Power Link that was installed 10 years ago. When I connect the 12-3s to it, they buzz. I believe that is due to an older version of Power Link. The only two solutions I see are run new Power Link lines, or have Steve at Sounds Heavenly make an adapter cable from old Power Link to New Power Link with old connector on one end and new connector on the other end.

Any other solution I am missing?

perhaps wireless transmitter and receiver could be the answer? 

Yes, that might be the answer.

I would still ask Steve though. I've ordered a cable from him and he's excellent and so is the cable.

I would ask him that even if the current connection buzzes would the adapter he could make for you get rid of it.

That would save you the wireless path

However I can attest to the receiver 1. It's good. And also if I ever get a moment I could stream to the speakers attached to the receivers.

Spoke with Steve. He says there still may be a buzz even with the adapter.

For a good fix I would go with the Wirless Receiver, and if you want to and only if you want to perhaps explore a different wiring in your walls.  But before you did that, I would just get one wire, a short one attach it to your TV and then to your Lab 12s just to see if it is a wire / cable issue. 

I did connect one of the 12-3s directly to the BV 7, without using the in wall wiring. Speaker worked perfectly.

Think I will order new Power Link of the required length and try to hide under the baseboard. I don't feel like having holes made in the walls as many places as would be required to run new in wall wires. Current (outdated) wires were installed when the house was built.

Considered wireless, but with one of the speakers there is no good place to conceal the receiver. Seems simpler to try to conceal just wires, rather than a receiver also, given my room's configuration.

Good Choice!

And good luck!  

At least you know now that the Wireless Receivers are good.  I'm kind of lucky that there is somewhere to hide them.

I did audition the BL18s as rears but I didn't think they were any better than my current BL3s.  So i kept the BL3s and added the wireless receivers.

 

Thanks for the all of the advice! And information.
