A rookie question re two amps, one pair of speakers


Hello fellow Audiogoners!

So I’d like to be able to power my B&W 683s from two different amps (not concurrently of course).
One amp would be for my 2 channel system and the other (a receiver) would be for my home theater system. So long as I’m not powering both amps at the same time, is it safe/ok/advisable to connect both amps to one pair of speakers?

I’d appreciate any comments.

Thanks much!

Assuming you're able to switch back and forth properly, its completely OK to use your 2 channel amp with your HT setup. Just go through the speaker calibration setup on your receiver. It will match the gain to the rest of your speakers. A lot of people do the exact same thing.
