A / B Switching

Does anyone have any experience with using a switch to go between speaker pairs?
which unit is best?
concerns over running multiple pairs?

Ive got a pair of B&W 802’s and a Dahlquest DQ-10 (full system).  Mac 2105 amp C 28 preamp.  I’d love to keep both speaker sets in the system, but concerns over signal degradation by the switch or burning up my amp.  Thanks

Thanks guys for the advice. My listening room isn’t huge.  I may have to end up running the DQ-10’s off a separate system in another, larger, room just based on the space requirements

You will more likely burn up the switch. They are all rated fairly low.

way overkill - but this thing works and it is quite a truth teller!

iirc niles made a line of regular speaker selectors... ok, not great fidelity but did the job safely

btw,

It isn't good to have spare speakers in a listening space, they passively react to vibrations generated by the active speakers.
