Bobwire Spk1

[brunes]

Greetings,
I've succumb to the issue that I can't order anything unless I've seen it measured here!
But tempted by the bob wire Spk1 and the XLR switcher had some good reviews...
Anyone had any experience using it?

just bought one and will receive it in about 1 week. Will comment here after but I do not have testing equipment so it will only be subjective listening and talking about functionality
I see @BobWire is on the forum - can you give me a pointer on if I should try to match the diameter of the wires from SPK1 to speakers to the ones from amplifiers to SPK1 ? (Eg I have currently AWG 7 from amp to speakers).

Ps - thx for making such a useful device

I noticed they just had a 65% price increase. I bought mine at $199 last year and now it's $329 on amazon. Geez. Thanks, Taco

Ok. Been using it for a few weeks and I can say it works as advertised. It simplified my setup a lot since now I can separate the stereo and home theater paths (my speakers are connected to both the receiver and the power amp for stereo)
The build quality seems very good. I did test if there was any voltage bleed when using one of the inputs, there was not.
The audio to my ears seems absolutely the same.
The only thing that was kinda weird (I am using the audio sensing logic so no 12v trigger) was that without any audio input from time to time I heard a click coming from the box (like it was doing a switch)
But other than that I am happy with the device.
