Question Possible to connect two amps to same speakers?

[El Puerco Volante]

I simply don't understand why, unless you are going to be changing your amplifiers every 5 minutes, you simply cannot just swap the speaker cables from one amp to speaker cables from the other amp. If you use a pair of wires with banana plugs on the end this will take less than a minute to do and ultimately will be a whole lot safer for you.

I may want to hear a song on tubes and then try it on the big Technics boy. And to be honest, I also like a smooth technical solution 😁 I also know myself and if I have to climb behind speakers and switch cables - I will simply don't do it very often.

One more question if I may : it's OK to connect a source (say a turntable or a streamer or CD player) to multiple amps at same time, right? I will use one amp at a time, just want to have connections to both in place to - well, you probably have guessed it - avoid switching cables 😄

Thank you, very clear and helpful. I won't connect them then and will use a switchbox! Anything wrong with my idea of how to connect using it as I've described above?

I like the hi-fi very much, but, in comparison to most members on this forum, I don't really know that much about it. So the clear advice is always very much appreciated!

I hadn’t seen the post where you mention the Luxman AS-55, I think you posted while I was typing!

Not familiar with the product, but looking at the diagram it looks like it will do exactly what you want it to.
