Looking for help please. I have a pair of beolab 8000s that I've connected a chromecast audio to Line in to stream my music. All sounds fantastic for about 1 hour until 1 speaker drops to standby. I can get it to go active by turning up the volume but its too loud for comfortable listening. Once the speaker has done this it will keep up he same issue until I power it down for several hours. It then repeats the fault condition process all over again. I've tried different cables, music sources and devices but no change. I've taken the faulty speaker apart and inspected the foam for rot and the PCBs for damaged tracks, of which there are no signs of damage. Is there anyone who can help PLEASE.
A Warm Welcome to Beoworld..
This is a known problem with the early Beolab 8000's prior to about serial number 09459585 when using the line input socket.
The symptom is usually it switches on and off by itself.
The solution is to mount a 0.33 micro farad capacitor rated at 250 volts across the primary terminals of the mains transformer. Such modifications should only be done by an experienced electronics person.
Regards Keith....
Many thanks Keith
The serial number is 16156728 type 6802. Would this also have the same issues?

Designed-AV may be a reliable supplier, but I want to warn people that OneRemote took my money last year, let me know the product was out of stock, then stopped responding to emails. Avoid them like the plague! If you buy any OneRemote products from Designed-AV make sure they are in stock before you order or you may never see it. (To be perfectly clear: the problem lies with OneRemote, not Designed-AV)
