Hello! First time posting here. I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer so I'm posting here.
I'm looking for a speaker amplifier switch to do A/B testing.
My speakers are bi-wired as my actual setup is a dual amplifier (Arcam A70 + P80). I wanted to compare it with another integrated amplifier.
The problem is that I can't find a passive selector that can switch more than 2 channels. It is possible to combine multiple switches but I would like the switching to be done in one step.
Maybe you can recommend a product or other solution that fits my needs? Or the components to make my own DIY solution? Thanks in advance for your ideas and suggestions.
 
Hi @MartinsB! Welcome to ASR.

You can probably switch multiple of these simultaneously using a single 12V supply: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPL1277Q

Also, do consider doing your A/Bing in Mono.

Not only would you save on resources, but sound qualities would also become easier to discern since these are easily masked by playing in Stereo:

Thanks for this suggestion. It allows me to use a regular two-channel switch also.
