Hi christop420,
If you are getting the correct stereo sound through your CX100 speakers, then the Beomaster should be working fine. The issue in likely to be with either the speakers or the cables.
Are you able to try one speaker at a time to see if:-
a) It gives the correct left channel sound when set to "Left" position, and
b) It gives the correct right channel sound when set to "Right" position?
If one speaker mis-behaves with both cables, you have a speaker fault, while if both speakers mis-behave with the same cable, you have a cabling issue.
Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks Steve, will give that a try. The other thing to consider is that the CX100 speakers have a 2-pin DIN connection, whereas the 8000 spaekers are connected via powerlink cables.
When using the amplified outputs of the Beomaster for the CX100 speakers, both the pre-amp and power amp stages of the Beomaster are being used. Hence, my comment that if the sound is correct with the CX100 speakers connected, then both parts of the Beomaster should be fine.
The Powerlink outputs only use the pre-amp stage of the Beomaster, if this had a fault then both sets of speakers would show this, instead of just the Beolab speakers.
I'd check first the 8 pin Powerlink plugs. Are they plugged in correctly on both sides (BM7000 out - BL8000 in) ?

Thanks Stefan and especially thanks Steve. Was a cable issue which I have now switched and all is sounding great now! Cheers guys
