Hi everyone, I am hoping someone can help me find a solution for the issues I am having with my speakers. As background, I inherited a pair of Beolab 8000s about a year ago.  They only came with the powerlink cables. After some research (mainly here!), I worked out that to attach them to my TV (Panasonic TX-49EX580B) I needed an AV receiver with a pre-out.  So I bought a second hand Cambridge Audio Azure 540R.  And it worked - for a bit. I went on holiday and powered everything off at the mains and when I came back - the volume is up at max - even though the receiver volume was at minimum. What I cannot figure out is if the receiver is the issue or the speakers?  I have tried resetting the Azure, with no difference in result. Assuming the receiver is the issue - are there better options to consider, for example is a DAC with volume control a reasonable alternative? I will take any/all alternative suggestions. Thanks Ian
