Amp Switch Box?

Can any one recommend a high quality switch box that would allow one to connect speaker cable and then switch between two different integrated amps (solid state for background listening, tube for serious)?

Ideally, I would not want the sound to be denigrated if possible. I'd obviously use quality ICs out of the box into the amps.

Many thanks!

Any non-shorting speaker switch can be used backwards and should not compromise the sound. However, there are no "ICs out of the box into the amps." There should be 2 sets of speaker cables out of the amps into the box if you are switching between amps.

Thanks, Kal. Any chance you could tell me where I might find one? Not exactly sure what set-up would look like, sorry.

JD,

I have never used one of these but have seen them mentioned many times when that question has been asked.

I use the Niles to switch between a tube integrated and a SS amp. Works flawlessly. You'll need a 12v trigger so that the niles switches automatically when you turn on the SS amp. Highly recommended.
