Volume Control for second set of speakers

Hi guys, anyone have a recommendation for volume control so that I could lower the volume on the “B speakers” from my amp.

I’ve got two sets of speakers in a large room and I just want to turn one set down a little to blend them better.

Something like this thing:

But maybe better? Or maybe this thing is perfect? Anyone have one?

thanks!!

To connect 10 AWG with banana plugs to the NHT Volume Control?

Would there be any way to run the B speakers through the Schiit SYS?

Used a Niles speaker attenuator for deck speakers for years...works beautifully with little noticeable effect on tone...plus...deck speakers for outdoor use...who cares?

@wolf_garcia yeah my dad had one for the dining room speakers when we were growing up. Not sure what happened to it...

the speaker connection is unfamiliar to me - do you think these Lil Piggies would connect properly?

Those "lil piggies" would work perfectly with the Niles attenuator, or whatever that thing is. I may have to get some of those.
