Don't know about the sub
Switching between two receivers — one set of speakers
Is there a way to have one pair of main speakers plus one sub (the latter currently fed via the pre of a one of the receivers), and switch between two receivers using the same mains/sub (without rewiring each time)?
Yamaha R-2000
Nikko 1219
KEF Q500
Klipsch 12” sub

Thank you lordmelton. I should probably mention that both receivers have pre out and the sub is active. |
This is what AI said to me when I copied your inquiry. Search Labs | AI Overview +13 Yes, you can absolutely set up a system to switch between your two receivers (Yamaha R-2000 and Nikko 1219) while using the same pair of KEF Q500 main speakers and your Klipsch 12" subwoofer, without having to re-wire everything each time .Here's how you can achieve this: 1. Main Speakers:
2. Subwoofer:
Important Notes:
By utilizing a speaker selector switch for your main speakers and either simultaneous connection (if your subwoofer supports it) or an audio AB switch for your subwoofer, you can easily switch between your two receivers without any re-wiring hassle. |
I use Maple Tree audio. He will make whatever switching combination you need. I bought one that allows me to switch 3 sources between 2 amps, one set of speakers. One is SS and one tube. The switch has a built in load for the tube amp. Well made. Solid. As far as the sub, I use a REL with the speakon connection so its always wired in to the speakers. I think other sub manufacturers have a similar connection. |

A custom switch by Maple Tree would be ideal. It could accommodate some additional switching as well. And the REL would be a nice upgrade to the Klipsch. |
I’m no expert, but I’m about to do the same thing. My source will be Qobuz streaming through my Eversolo DMP A-8. I have one amp (Primaluna EVO300 INT) connected to the Eversolo via the “rca out” and the other (Yamaha A-S3000) connected to the “balanced out”. Both amps will have speaker wires connected to my Cornwall IVs (2 sets of posts bridged). To compare the two amps, all I need to do is toggle between the audio out options on the Eversolo. If my more experienced brethren here see anything here that risks blowing something up, please warn me. Thanks! DD |
That’s an interesting device. I like the auto-sensing. Would that still work with the subwoofer in my setup? I guess if I’d go separates, with a good amp and a versatile preamp, I may be able to have the preamp do a lot of the switching and picking. Things is, I really like my receivers and rather invest in upgrading the main speakers. |
