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!

The OP is contemplating two entirely different speaker systems for different moods. 

Or for different rooms...

 Yes I do. I have a pair of bi amped Kappa 8s (Parasound SS) and a pair of Kappa 7s (Behringer A800 class D) next to them. I daisy chain the amps together. So I can listen to all the speakers together or choose which pair I want listen to. Another amp daisy chained in for outside speakers and the tape out on pre amp goes to another Intergrated amp in gaming room.

I have speakers by Paradigm in media room, desktop, and kitchen

Martin Logan-garage

Boston Acoustics- patio

Definitive Technology- sun room

I want to get a pair of klipsch stand mounts to pair with my klipsch powergate integrated amp for my desktop system.

Biggest disappointment has been a dedicated two channel preamp in my home theater, I have tried 4 so far (parasound, sunfire, sony, and anthem), not one of them sounds as good as my marantz 7702 processor in 2 channel mode. Must be the audyssey room correction is super dialed in but the anthem preamp did have ARC.
