Can this be linked with a TV to take over a TV’s speakers? I have the Beosound Balance that does not work properly with a TV unless (as I understand it) one kind of Jerry rigs it by running it through an Apple TV. I haven’t tried that yet, but seems to be an extra step that is a pain. Will this only work with a TV using an Apple TV or will it work off the bat?

This and the Balance are probably not a very good choice as a television speaker. With television, it's all about direction and isolating sounds to a single area (well defined soundstage). These speakers tend to be more omnidirectional. They sound fabulous - I'm just not sure I'd use them for television (and I have both Balance and a 1st generation Beosound 2). For the same amount of money, the Beosound Stage is a far better choice for television (it's built for that). Sorry, I didn't answer your question about connectivity. If I were guessing, it probably would require some odd ball connection - there is no eARC HDMI connector on the Beosound 2 (the Stage has that connection). So you would have to use a physical audio connector. They dropped the 3mm jack, and opted for audio over USB-C, and Bluetooth (the ethernet cable is for networking, not audio). So your television would have to output audio over USB-C - and there's a high probability it doesn't do that. There's nothing Jerry rigging about using an Apple TV with USB-C audio output - it is a real source that works out of that box. It's just your television doesn't do USB-C audio.

Find a B&O dealer and let her listen. I have B&O speakers in every room of my house - 10 different rooms plus a portable for outside. My collection includes Beolab 8000, Beolab 6000, Beolab 3, Beolab 2, Beosound 2, Beosound Balance, Beosound Level, Beosound A5, Beoplay A6, Beoplay M5, and Beoplay A1. The Beosound 2 is my favorite of the lot, and not by a small margin. I'm seriously considering buying this deal even though I have 3 sets of B&O speakers in storage because I have no place to put them. 🙃
