Hello from New York

[gijoe865]

New to this so here we go. I’m researching on how to connect multiple receivers to the same speakers as I’m building a vintage collection. Want to know if there is something out there I can purchase before a commit to building one myself. Thank you.

Welcome gijoe. I don't know the answer to your question but others here will.
Keep us updated on your system project.

Welcome - Assuming you are talking about amps - I have used a Mapletree Audio Design SP 1 Amp/Speaker Selector for this application in the past - works great.

Hello & welcome.

I know of speaker selectors but not anything the other direction. Unless you found one of those switching boards like they used in the big box stereo stores.

 

[gijoe865]

I’m thinking of building one and basically do the circuitry backwards so that I can achieve my goal. Doing my research as well because I basically want to bypass my main unit’s speakers all together and do either an interface or a manual linkage.

Welcome GiJoe, still got yours from when you were a kid ?

As for your receiver/amp selector box, yes basically a speaker selector box in reverse. I would think wire one as such or build your own. How many receivers are in your collection ?

What part of NYS do you hail ?

Unfortunately I don’t , nor my big Jim with karate arm action. I’m from Long Island, NY. I’ve been looking for such animal but it doesn’t seem to exist. So I started to purchase all the parts I’m going to need for what I basically want. Still looking for some multiple connections relays but, nothing that would help my application. I’m going to build a passive one with the ability to grow later if I find the electronics I need. My collection is a little limited now to just an old Kenwood a Technics and another Marantz. Want to to keep them in the wooden cabinet family so that’s what I’m collecting. I just restored a pair of IV series Bose 901 that’s part of my man cave set up I’ll keep you posted with my progress.
