Here is a slightly different set-up I use. One power amp that has switchable inputs for balanced or RCA which is a Classe' CA300 is hooked to two different pre-amps, one solid state and the othe tubed plus two cd players gives the flexibility to change preamps with the flick of a switch and a multiple combination of either cd player with either preamp switchable from the frt panel. Ther is one combination I prefer the most but not one is right for all different tunes, plus I get bored with the same sound all the time. Maybe something like this will work for you?
2 amps with same speakers NON-Biamp ??
This is a 'what-if' that keeps popping up in my head: You have a preamp with 2 sets of main outs. One set is connected to stereo amp A(SS), the other to stereo amp B(tube). Each amp is connected to the same pair of speakers in normal(non-biamp, non-biwire) fashion. When I want to listen to rock/pop I could fire up the system and amp A only. For more gentle/refined music I would turn on amp B instead. I wonder if this has been done or is doable or wise. My concern is that the output stages of the amps would interact with each other and degrade the sound or worse, i.e. damage one another.
