what speaker selector switch?

[onthewater1]

i have a pair of speakers in one room and another pair in another room, i want a switch to make one pair will be the left and the other pair the right, then be able to switch back to one pair L R and the other L R. Do I simply need a 2 channel speaker switch? Thanks

Yes, an A/B switch is all you need. Some of them have an A+B option; be careful using that unless your amp can handle the lower impedance . (Some switches can adjust the impedance for the A+B selection.) And if you haven't purchased the amp yet, many have A/B built in.

I don’t think it’s quite that easy. Normally, each pair is L+R. It is most unorthodox to make a pair of two mono L channel and likewise R channel, which is literally what you asked.

Can you explain why that would be remotely desirable as it sounds a bit of a muddled idea to me?

Good point. I didn't understand that either and decided it was just a request for two stereo channels. But I meant to ask and forgot.

You can't just combine two channels "raw", but there are switches for that too (but not an A/B switch). On Amazon look up, "2 in 1 Out Bi-Directional Audio Switcher."

That would a great solution to the typical problem, but the OP has phrased it in a different way, on which I trust they will clarify!
