Turn BeoLab Penta to BeoVox Penta

Dear All,

I'm the happy owner of a BeoSound Ouverture plus BeoLab 8000. But since two month, i've discover the incredibly quality of the Full Digital amp (FX Audio D802 in my case). I've read a lot about and i decide to try on my BeoVox CX 100. The result is simply amazing ! I rediscover the very high quality of this CX 100 ! The sound is incredibly clear and the stereo scene is in real 3D ! Voice and instruments are full of detail and clearly separated ... Amazing !

So i decide to try this amp with my BeoLab 8000. Even the install is a little bit complicated with the converter and son on, the result is as fantastic as i expected ! The only problem comes form the amp. Even it's off, it provide background noise to the BeoLab 8000 that they can't shut down ...

I don't want to come back to the Ouverture and the BeoLab 8000 integrated amp ... the difference is to big to come back ...

I think to buy a pair of BeoLab Penta that have a Speaker Link to be connected to a normal amp.
I'm correct ?

I've found one pair ... but one of them have a problem on the integrated amp. The amp shut down after few minutes.

Question : if i only need the Speaker Link function on this Penta, it's a problem to have one Penta with an amp problem ?

Thanks for your answer ! 

If you want to use a different amplifier you can simply remove the amplifier on the Pentas. They have regular speaker connections after that.

Many thanks leosgonewild for your reply !

Is it a complicated operation ?

 

No. Renovera bolts under the fot, PUL amplifier of removing the speakerplugs in the gap when there is a 5-10cm gap.

Unscrew the long bolts, mount new bolts that are shorter approx 4cm long, mount fot, mount bolts. And you are done.
