Try this link I think this is what you are looking for.
Multi Speaker Selector

They have many different models to choose from if this does not suit your requirements. click on the speaker selector link next to the image of this one to see all the models.

Regards
John

That would do speaker selection, but I need to do receiver selection. i.e. 3 receivers to 1 set of speakers. I think you need something a little different to prevent any cross connecting. (I don't want to connect the speaker outputs of two receivers together)

Michael,

You would just hook it up in reverse, connect your speakers to the input and then your receivers to the outputs, Now yuo have one set of speakers and multiple amps. Most of these devices are just dumb devices, that is to say the selection is done with a mechanical switch so it does not matter which way they are connected.

Other than they allow you to have multiple speakers selected at once. (Or in my case multiple receivers) and that would be really, really bad. I would have to be VERY careful to unselect one receiver before selecting the other. I really want something like the stores use that allows me to select between multiple receivers and multiple speakers.

Sorry the rest of the reply got cut off,

You will just have to be careful not to turn (select) 2 receivers at once. I think that to do it the way you want via a dedicated switch for multi amps is very expensive. You will find some by searching google for "multi source selector" but I do not think that you want to spend that much on this, or do you?

regards
John.

PS. I will be away for the week, and will catch up with you when I return. Good Luck with this, if you cannot find anything let me know I will see if I can make you something relatively cheap.

LOL you were replying as I was reposting the rest of my message.

Have look and see what you can find. When I get back I will see where you are at and if you still need something then we can see what I can do to help you out.

Cheers
John.
