Can these be used for both Plasma and 2-channel??

I have a pair of Silverline Audio (Sonatina II's) that
I've been using for my living room 2-channel setup with
very acceptable results.
I just purchased a plasma TV without speakers. I disconnected the speakers from my 2-channel amp and ran
a pair of good 16ga speaker cables from the TV to the Sonatinas. The TV sounds great.
Here's my question. Is there a way I can use these speakers
for both my plasma and my 2-channel setup without disconnecting one source and connecting the other?

Thanks in advance for any information!

Right, Aroc. The speakers can be connected to only one amp at a time. So, your options are to use only one or to get a switch.

One of the reasons I don't want to involve my integraded amp is that it does not have a remote. Meaning, everything
now is controlled by a single remote. I think the switch
idea would work. Any ideas?

Markeetaux,

It doesn't matter that your integrated amp does not have a remote. The TVs pre-outs are likey variable and controlled by the TVs remote volume control. You would simply set the integrated amp to a position like top dead center and use the TVs remote to vary the volume.

Enjoy,

Reubent is right.

Do remember that the 10K plasma television has about a $20 amplifier built in for speakers. The amplifier in that television could never hope to reach a very high level of resolution.
