Two 7.1 receivers hooked up on one set of 7.1 speaker setup (1 Viewer)

[thxbest]

I have two 7.1 receivers, and I would like to hook up both to one set of 7.1 speaker setup. I will never be using both receivers at the same time.


I am considering to get a speaker switcher but I could not find any that have 7 input/outputs to handle a 7.1 setup.


Is there any speaker switcher that can handle this, or even a better solution to go with?

Thanks for advice.

I seriously doubt any such thing exists. Your only option is probably to use multiple stereo speaker switchers wired backwards. However, I don’t think any of these are “A” or “B” only, but also have the option for “A” + “B”, which of course runs the risk of damage to the amplifiers if they somehow end up with both engaged. The .1 will require a separate line-level switching device.

Why do you think you need to do this?

I want to do a comparison between both AVRs without having to hook up speaker wires on each amp every time.

Is there any solution for that?

No, there is not a solution for this. The hackjob end around is to buy 4 speaker switches and wire them backwards(as said before).

What are these two AVR?

Seems like you need a booth monitor as you can pass the amp outputs to the booth monitor amp input returns then you can connect a RTA or oscilloscope and volt meter up to test output.
