Sounds like a very bad idea good luck though!!
Two amps to one speaker
I use an Ayre VX-5 Twenty to drive a pair of KEF LS50s. Occasionally I'd like to use a pair of Cary 572 SE monoblocks. Would I create a problem by connecting cables from the Ayre with spades and those from the Cary with bananas? Of course, only the Ayre or Cary monoblocks would be powered up at a time.
The cables from the Ayre to the KEFs is Cardas Clear Day with spades at both ends. I suppose I could have one end converted to bananas, and that might be the proper solution.

Here’s a very recent thread with some suggestions https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/a-rookie-question-re-two- amps-one-pair-of-speakersThe above link was only good for switching between two solid-state amplifier, to switch between a tube amplifier and solid-state amplifier, there was a thread discussed two years ago: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/speaker-switch-that-protects-tube-amplifier |
I've decided that each amp will have its own speaker lead, terminated at the speaker end with a banana plug. When a particular amp is in use it will first be connected to a speaker and only then powered up. So at no time will two amps be connected to any speaker, nor will any amp be powered up without first being connected to a speaker. I certainly don't want to put the Ayre VX-5 Twenty nor the Cary 572 SE monoblocks at risk. db |
