@kota1 nice! I use Roon to stream to multiple systems in my house. What I’m experimenting with now is two sets of speaker amp combinations in my hifi system. I am liking toggling between my laid back tube amp/smaller speaker combo and my more precise solid state/large speaker set up. Keeps me on my toes.
Dual speaker system
Has anyone tried a dual speaker system with a pre-amp with two outputs? Mind you, not four speakers playing at the same time, but having a system with two separate amp/speakers combinations for different moods and music—e.g., a SS tied with floor standers and a tube amp with monitors.
I’m trying this now with my monoblock Mc connected to Sonus Faber floor standing speakers and then the alternative is a low fi tube amp paired with some Q Acoustic speakers.
Of course the Mc/SF is much better, but I kinda like having a different sounding system to switch to and I like the idea of having more gear to tinker with!

@elliottbnewcombjr now we are talking! So your first point is important — does a second set of speakers affect the primary speakers? Looks like the answer is yes. My primary speakers are SF Amati paired with Mc 601s and I was thinking of a completely different second amp/speaker combo, but what if I added a Mc275 tube amp to the Amati and manually switched between the amps. That would be fun. Have you considered a speaker cable switch? I’d worry the switch would degrade SQ though.
@kota1 all same room! @cptrips I”d be interested to hear more about how you are daisy chaining. I love the idea of two amps and two speakers and being able to switch between them all for different combinations |
