They're 30W ones, so good enough, and cutting the plugs off wouldn't actually have helped my problem, because then I wouldn't be able to plug them into the CD player anymore. I wanted a solution that would allow me to plug them into both the Marantz, and the CD player, which have different...

WAY beyond the point of any of that being a consideration.

Yeah, exactly. Nobody seems to make one which takes two inputs to a single output. I've got one like that for all my HDMI devices into my TV, it's brilliant. An audio equivalent outputting to one set of speakers would be ideal. I guess in general there are too many variables with audio and too...

Sadly they are. But yeah, I see what you're saying. I could create a join part way down the cable to which I can attach different "extentions", one with one connector on the end, the other with a different connector on the end? You know what I could really do with, is something like this...

I don't really want to connect to two at once, just to be able to connect to two different things one at a time. Unplugging them from one and plugging into the other is fine. I'm just trying to avoid having two sets of speakers when one will do the job.

Slightly different, but same range and same connectors, yeah.

Oh, and to answer these questions a little bit. The Sony speakers I'm referring to are connected to a CD player (can't remember the exact model number off hand, but it's one of the NAS Giga Juke ones from 5 or 6 years ago). Haven't bought the amp yet, but front-runner at the moment is is the...

OK, I see what you mean. Would those allow the speakers to be permanently plugged into both sources and simply output whichever source was switched on at the time, or would I need to keep switching the plugs in and out (not a big deal)? Also, is there any degredation when using these?

Them's the ones. The speakers aren't independently powered. Here's a photo. And the sockets they go into:

Not ideal, right? So my situation is this, I've got a set of speakers at the moment with those Sony-standard 4.2mm round pin connectors on. I'm going to buy a new turntable and amp, which of course accept phono connectors. Technically I don't really need a new set of speakers, because the...
