Hi guys and gals
I'm currently in the stages of getting ready to integrate all my products and thought I'd like to make them all WISA compatible as I'd like to add a BeoSound Moment to my setup and would like to play through the speakers in one room without having to turn on the BeoVision 11. The speakers I'd like to make WISA compatible is a set of BeoLab 8000's which I still intend to keep as my front left/right speakers which shouldn't be complicated; the speakers that puzzle me is the BeoLab 15/16 + Amplifier 1 that I brought before being discontinued and have been saving for this installation. So any advice how I can link these to a Receiver 1? I've heard that if I want to use both the BL15's and BL16 with a Amplifier 1 I need to buy another one... is this true?? If so it may be nice to just add a BeoLab 19 instead of using the BeoLab 16 and easier than getting hold of another Amplifier 1.
Thanks in advance, I know this may be a puzzler

I did exactly what you want to do about a 1 1/2 years ago and it took a lot of trial and error and lots of help from the b&o tech team.
You will need 2 receiver 1's and one of B&O " Y" couplings with j45 at all ends.
The two receiver 1 then get connected to a single "in" at the amplifier.
You will need to connect the two speakers by wire from the amplifier.
It works perfectly well, I am using the 15's as surround speakers and have them mounted in my ceiling and the amplifier receiving the signal by "WISA".
Hope this helps.
