If you only need to switch one of 2 pairs of speakers, the one I described
before is probably the best, but they don't appear to sell it any
more.  It's hard to extend the technique to more than 2 speakers
though!  If you do need different speakers switched on and off, it's best
to have separate amps for each pair, or use 100V line throughout if you
don't have room for lots of amplifiers.

I have 3 speakers hung off one amp channel as a temporary (only 8 months so
far!) measure, with 2 x 4 ohm speakers in series, in parallel with a single
8 ohm one, the volume change when the 8 ohm is switched in and out is
obvious, but not unbearable...

They'd probably refund it if you bought it recently, it's not much use if
it can't cope with 2 pairs of speakers, and they're usually helpful about
such things, at least in the shops.
