Hi Rob,
Are your amps , pre-amps as well ? If so
and
they have a tape output then you may have an easy workable solution.
Just
feed the tape output of one into an unused input on the other and visa
versa. Then any source on either amp can be played through the speakers.
Some clever amps even have a source selection for the tape output that
is
independent of the source actually playing which would be ideal, giving you
multi zone effectively. If you have one pre-amp and two amps this second
facility might work well for you too although you might not have volume
control
of the tape output.
Alternatively there are some IR switchable
analogue source selectors around at good prices (circa £35)- try Keene or
Lektropak - I am not sure of the quality though. Switching digital
sources
is more complex - Nirvis used to do one called the DXS, there are a
couple
more I will dig out if this is of interest. There are some cheap and
cheerful
'Y' splitters (passive) available - they tend to mess the audio levels up
because they don't match the impedances correctly but they do work. You
just get
lower volume and poss. some effects on top end frequency response. Haven't
seen
a low cost, multi channel active splitter but I am sure they
exist.

Inputs
Hi
I am setting up a multi-room Hi-Fi at my new pad and after
much buggering around am going to run two amps at a central location
which
in turn will power two sets of speakers, the amps two speaker outs
are remote switchable so in effect I will have four independent zones
of audio (Albeit though from only one source.). I am doing it this
way because I want the audio to be discreet (Ceiling mounted Kef
speakers) and all the gubbins at a central location.
What I am
going
to need though is a way of splitting my input (CD, Minidisk and Digital
Source) across two (and possibly three in the future) amps. Is a custom
build from Keith at Kat5.tv is the answer with some v.short patch leads?
If
I could find a hi-fi separate size splitter that would be even better.
Remember it would need to be a permanent split not a switched splitter.
HAVING SAID THAT if their was a remote controllable switchable splitter
I
could have multi zone and multi source!!!.....drool!
Thanks in
advance.
Rob
