Can I hook up two amps to the same speaker?

Could I hook up two receivers, each with their own source to the same speakers, and play one receiver, while the other is powered down? Now, if that is a no, is there a way for me to run and integrated and a receiver into the same speakers and play each one individually. Each, again, with their own source. If this seems ludicrous or insane; please be gentle with me...lol..peace, warren :)

May I add that the switch you seek should have a 'break before make' not the 'make before break' type circuitry.
Here are the make before break/break before make definitions:
In a make before break type, a contact will not open it's primary output circuit until it has closed it's secondary circuit. Conversly, in a break before make type a contact opens the circuit to one output before it closes the circuit to a second output.
Also a DPDT with a "OFF" center position will work.
