I don't think you can go far wrong with that.
At first glance, considering the job it's doing, it looked a bit expensive.
But, when you add up the cost of the parts involved, it really is fair value.
Looks ok too. Credit to Fosi.

Thanks Gray there are many cheaper options but i guess they will effect the sound signature .
Just curious if there any one on here who has experienced one.

Well, as a switch, it's only as good as the relays it uses - and it mentions 'high quality relays', so should give some long-term reliability.
Won't be any worse quality than the A B switching you get in many amps 👍

Could I be impertinent and ask why you need to connect two amplifiers to one pair of speakers?
At least I assume this is what you intend to do.
It wasn't clear how you actually connect them.

That is what i intend to do .I have 2 setups with 2 Amps, one is stereo2.1 with the 7000n the other is AV with a sound bar 5.1 via the 70S .

This will allow me to use my B&W speakers for AV has well has they are connected to the 7000N.
The 70s also has 2 games consoles plugged into it via HDMI.
A hybrid setup i guess.I dont have the space for a full AV setup oh not to forget the DVD player Apple TV & theTV is also connected to the 70s.

This way i get full use from both Amps.

I've occasionally wondered about doing that myself although I think Rach would kill me. YAMAHA av receiver for the TV, Bluray etc and the Roksan Kandy KA-1 mk3, I was given, for cd turntable etc. I was given the Roksan by a friend "not working" took it into work and all it needed was a cap' replacing I so want to use it and an amp switch or a second set of speakers are the only way I can use the Roksan. Rach would definitely kill me if I got another set of speakers 🤣

Its due to arrive today .Ive prepared all the cables ready to plug in. I keep you posted.

 

[Shrek]

Arrived late this evening glad i prepared ahead .Looks and feels better than the pictures seems very well made nice to use the feel of the switches feel nice not plastic feeling.
Works perfectly cant hear any abnormal noise.

I can now use both Amp at the flick of a switch.
The power source is via USB handy if your running out of power sockets.
You can also use it with the VU meters off.

Ignore the paper labels on the cable had to label them all.

 

[Revolutions]

Looking good. Glad you solved the problem easily. And more importantly, a solution that involves VU meters ❤️

 

[Shrek]

The VU meters are a bonus i admit i do like them.the priority was to be able to use the B&W speakers for AV has well.
