Is this dangerous ?

I am trying to incorperate my 2 channel and home theater without comprmising sound .

Here is what i want to do : keep my 2 channel amp wired to the speakers as usual , the speakers are biwireable. I want to use the second binding posts on the speakers for a receiver for home theater .

Both sources would be wired at the speakers . I figure if only one source is powered on at a time this would work .probably use a independent powerstrip for each and keep the source i am not using turned off at the strip .

My main question is if both sorces would send a signal to the speakers at once what would i hear ? would it mix the two together and make some funky noise ? Would this damage the speaker ?

Hopefully, one of the electronic techs will weigh in here. But until one does -- I advise don't do it.

As Meiwan surmises, I too suspect that if both amps are tied in simulataneously, the outputs will short unless the amp not in use is disconnected from the circuit.

Perhaps a call to the factory would be worthwhile.
