Anyone ever use one of these?
4 way selector
With as many speakers as I seem to demo at home. (Seems to have become my new hobby) I was thinking one of these would come in REALLY handy. Having to switch the cables back and forth between speakers makes critical listening between different pairs really difficult.

i recently went to tweeter and think i bought a 4 speaker switching box by tivoli?? i used the speaker b outputs as the box input, then from there select what speakers ( remote) i want. sold for $100.00, but it's customary to get a 10% discount. i also had a $25.00 gift certificate which made the deal sweeter. it requires no voltage.

It looks interesting. Certainly a handy idea for those who do alot of auditioning.

The best way to audition, of course, is to have a 3rd party set the speakers up and do the switching for you while you listen blindfolded.

I'll have them all hooked up, and someone else will indeed be doing the switching.
I'm going to grab one of these switchers and have some fun.

Make sure you don't cheat by memorizing the positions of those speakers!

Me, cheat? Ha! Besides, my only loyalty is to my ears, not any particular company. (Sorry Amie!)

But what will you do if your new favorite speaker comes from a manufacturer without an online forum?!

Hey...I'm not going anywhere. This is by far one of the best audio boards on the web.

be careful not to run too many speakers at once,the impedance might drop too low,unless that model protects against that.you might want to check....ron
