A switch for 3 amps

I have an SET Class A Tube AMP and a Marantz SS amp connected to a Douk Audio "LITTLE BEAR". It can also drive two sets of speakers too so you have up to 4 amp/speaker combination. Key is the Little Bear presents a LOAD to the tube amp even if not selected. Some tube amps require that to be powered on. Been using it for two years with zero issues. Now, Amir at Audio Science Research poo poo’s this unit due to noise but I am thrilled with it.

The Luxman speaker selector switch mentioned above appears to drive 3 pairs of speakers on one amp ?  Not familiar with it and I can't any manuals to confirm it can handle 2 pairs of amps....  

@audiodidact I own and use the Luxman AS-55. It is solid and works well. Could be used for three different amps or one amp and three different pairs of speakers. Shop around for your best price.

Aric at Aric Audio built me one for just this reason. 

Luxman Amp and his 300 b amp.

He put a dummy load just in case I decided to switch bit for forgot to turn the tube amp off when switching. Tube amps needs load!

He built it keeping SQ in mind.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't think the Luxman will work for what you are trying to do. It is simply a speaker selector with only one amplifier input. The Douk is also not the answer because it is designed to go between the amp and the speaker. You need something that has one source input for your preamp and two line level outputs to go to your amplifiers. Then you need an additional selector to direct the speaker level output from the one of the amplifiers to your speakers. The Douk could serve as the second selector but there is a better way.

+1 for Mapletree Audio. You specify exactly what you want and they build it to your needs. I have one and it is looks nice with a retro vibe, is built solidly, and is noiseless. As @alucard19 mentioned, Al Freundorfer is very helpful and he can build you a switch box that will do everything in one chassis. It isn't cheap but it's by far the most elegant solution. If you explain to him what you are trying to do he will custom build exactly what you need.

When you set this up you should use a consistent turn on/turn off procedure to protect your tube amps. With the amps off, set the switches for the amplifer and speaker output and then turn on the amp once everything is properly switched. As with all proper audio hygiene make sure your preamp is muted when you turn on your amplifiers.

@8th-note, thanks for the heads-up on the Luxman vs. the Douk. My understanding (according to the Luxman promo copy), is that the Luxman can do 1 input for an amp and 3 for speakers OR, vice-versa. I will certainly check again before making a purchase, but like @lak above, I’ve read others saying they too found the Luxman to be able to do multiple amps.

@maxdukecapone: Thanks for the suggestion. The Aric seems like a great solution. I will give them a call to see what they can do.

Thanks to everyone that has reminded me how important it is that I am careful with powering the tubes on and off in the right sequence! Lord knows, I do not want to go through all this just to blow-up the whole GD thing!

Anyone, please feel free to share any experience or awareness of using low-voltage tubes on low sensitivity speakers like 1.7i Magnepans (as I noted above, they’re modded with GR cross-overs), I’ve been using a Parasound A21+, which is phenomenal, but I’m looking to create a more subtle sound for acoustic/jazz music. So, I don’t need the power of the A21+, but I do want to keep it for more dynamic music (read LOUD). So, that’s the point of the switch. Hope that makes sense, but please let me know what you think on that score, and thanks everybody for all the great suggestions!!
