How pricey? Which one would you buy?

Crutchfield was selling one that accepted 12 gauge wiring and was $350(?). The rest are in the $100-150 range for 2 channels and $200-300 for 2 channel dual input or 4 channel single input. I liked the one at Crutchfield, because it accepted the thicker wiring, but the price was way too much for me........right now.

Yeah, that's a little spendy. Maybe one of these days.

Since you have extra receivers around... Why not run the source to both receivers and power one set off of each? You could get pretty exact with the level matching that way. I know you'd be introducing another potentially significant variable to the chain, but sand is sand, right?

That's not a bad idea, Tom. Is it possible to split the signal from the CD player? What effect, if any, will that have on the sound?

The A/B switches are generally equivalent to hooking up speakers in parallel. I'm guessing with higher end receivers, they're anticipating that people might be using lower impedance speakers.

It will only sound half as good when split.

Some of the higher end switches (as well as local volume control knobs) have impedance matching options to increase the impedance knowing they could be run in parallel. You still split the power, but at least you won't overdrive your amp.
