use same speakers for music and home theater

HI I'd like to use my totem sttafs for home theater and for music. I have an NAD 356 plus the sttafs along with a Denon AVR and Gallo five speaker system. Can I wire the sttafs with two sources so I can use the Sttafs as my front home theater and with my NAD? When I watch anything with music alone ( iam a musician) the gallos sound awful. though for home theater they are very good.
thanks

Try it and hear for yourself. It is an easy and free experiment. Doubt anyone could state factually that it would not be a good match without having heard them together.

Thanks how about keep the gallo sub and use with the totems? Or is that not. Good match ?

Hi Brian,

You could use a regular A/B speaker switch, wired in reverse.

Make sure to get a switch that only allows one pair of speakers to be in use at a time. If you do this, you could do this.

But better solution IMHO is to get rid of the Gallo's and get a sub for the Totems.

Best,

E
