Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker

I agree that switches shouldn't cause an overloading problem when only one set of speakers are being used. However, some switches allow you to send the signal to both sets of speakers at the same time.

Pgawan2B,just like a built in switch,always use caution.

I am selling my NAD 326BEE that did a great job in my second system. I can see the larger one working well, however when I heard the NEW Rotel vs the NAD as well as that Linn that was talked about above, I felt the Rotel was much more dynamic and open. It wasn't harsh on top like some of the older Rotel's I had heard at some stores. I fell in love with the new line they have for the money I don't' see it being beaten by much, even the used gear. Guys/gals, if you haven't heard it go check it out at your local dealer. I think you'll be very impressed. Neutral enough to use with even the Vandy 2ce's. Plenty of power to drive them to realistic levels. I have no dog in this fight and think that there are a few here I'd personally stay away from and about three that sound like strong choices. JMHO

I did consider using an external a/b switch but I've heard that they can degrade sound quality unless it's a very good one. Any recommendations for a switch that won't degrade SQ?

I've heard the Bryston switches are good but they are a little pricey.

Ctsooner: what is the a rotel model you are recommending?

Bmdduck, check out the Niles SS-4,it goes for $129.99. Also Parts Express sells Speaker switches. The Niles will not degrade the sound any less than a built in switch that comes with an amp. A switch is a switch!
