justin240 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Ok so this might be a silly question. I've got a pair of Rf-82's and two sources, a home theater receiver and a stereo receiver. Sometimes I like to watch movies and will use the home theater, and other times music which I prefer to run through my stereo receiver. What is the best way to connect both systems to my speakers that still easily allow me to switch between both sources? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I just in screw the wires... it literally takes me 1 minute to swap set ups and I have to do four amps and a subwoofer. Others have switching mechanisms, but I dont. I just don't want something else in my signal path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I was a bit surprised at the $99.00 price when I have seen them for much less. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin240 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Good advice, going to order one. What do you guys do about one subwoofer for two sources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I just run the speakers as large for 2 ch. I could run a sub cable to the BDP but, the gain is not worth the hassel of re-arranging things. The RF 7, RF 7 II, RP 280 F, RF 5, RF 63, RF 82 all have decent bass capabilities and can stand alone without a sub depending on the room and your desire.

Davecv41 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I use a 4PDT toggle switch to go between my Khorns and two amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novisnick Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I use a custom built (not fancy) pair of small boxes each with a three toggle switch. Three so there will never be a live feed from one to the other. Can never be too careful you know. Also, I never switch a live feed anyway. Been using this for well over a year without a problem. Eevery now and then Ill not have any sound because Ive forgotten to flip the switch. Ive also used the same switch for two separate preamps. Enjoy the music!
