Please log in for more thread options I have a good set of stereo speakers. They now work off one Sony amplifier. I would like to connect an alternate amplifier to the same set of speakers. Can I just run a set of wires from the second amplifier to the set of speakers. Except by accident, only one amplifier will be powered on at a given time. Will the two amplifiers, permanently connected to the speakers, damage either the speakers or the amplifiers? -- Walter www.rationality.net - | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I suggest running the wires from the amps to a switch box, and then to the speakers. That way you will avoid having both amps connected to the speakers at the same time. But, I must ask, why would you want to connect two different amps to the same set of speakers? -- Stop Mad Cowboy Disease: Impeach the son of a Bush. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

As I mentioned, the speakers are high quality. One amplifier gets input from my computer mp3's: Fairly low quality, but with 6000 songs, little repetition as background music. The other amplifier provides high quality CD and FM music for those moments when I get tired of background music. -- Walter www.rationality.net - >

Why can't you feed both sources into the same amplifier? -- Stop Mad Cowboy Disease: Impeach the son of a Bush. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
