Hi
I'm new to this, but would like to create a setup where I can control some beolab 8002 active icepower speakers and a couple of small passive speakers with runeaudio. I want to be able to play LPs and CDs as well, and to use the beolab speakers for my (non B&0) TV as well.
Any suggestions what I need for this?
I have not purchased any parts yet.
With all the stuff you want to connect a classic analogue preamplifier is probably the easiest way. Just add a Pi with a DAC+ for the digital audio sources.
Thank you for your answer. I guess the downside to such a setup would be that I need to control the volume of my analogue speakers using my old amplifier?
Yes, that's right.
Could I instead add an AMP2 to the system and then be able to control the analogue speakers (separately from the digital ones)? They are 3 Ohm though, I see the AMP2 is designed for 4-8Ohm.
While you can do this theoretically (with 3 Ohm speakers, you should not use more than 12V power supply), you still don't get analog audio into the system.
