Two amplifiers feeding the same pair of speakers?

I have a situation where it would be great if I could feed the same pair of speakers from two different sources. Will this work as long as I was always careful to only have one source sending signals at a time? If so, is there any special way I need to configure this or would it be as simple as having two sets of speaker cables going to each speaker?

Thanks!

The simplest, and safest way is to use one power amp, and use your second source as an input to your main preamp. I'm not sure is this gets you what you're after though since you didn't provide details. You may want to describe your situation in detail.

Whatever you do, do NOT have 2 power amps connected to the same speakers at the same time, unless the amps are isolated from each other by a switch.
