OK I have zero skills in the DIY arena sooo what I am asking is has anyone ever built a speaker selector box?? I currently use the best I could find which is made by Bryston BUT I wish the terminals were spaced farther apart for better speaker cables. The Bryston is the ONLY unit I could find that uses 5-way connectors vs the push button type which only allow use of bare wire.IDEALLY would like a unit with:
output to 3 pairs of speakers
impedance matching circuit
high quality, 5 way speaker jacks
quality volume control (TDK, Alps, etc) for each pair of speakers
1/4" headphone jackhas to be built with enough space between jacks to allow use of heavy gauge speaker cables with spade or banana terminations ... this is the biggest drawback to the Bryston unit ... speaker/amp terminals are on top of each other in a "mini chassis" design
anyone built anything similar or know of a resource for a pre-built unit OR have the ability and desire to build one??
thx
Jeff

I don't know the performance level (nor the real pedigree) of this build, but it's a rather remarkable product if it's audiophile quality (find out what's inside). It's worth taking a look into, IMO.
Perhaps it could be tweaked for better performance.
See link:
looks like a well built piece ... nothing I can find anywhere regarding parts quality though ... I will keep looking!
would rather have less speaker outputs and jacks that would accept spades (these would but are too close together to be practical - same as Bryston)
thanks for the info and link!

Perhaps you might just decide to upgrade the stock Bryston binding posts with copper binding posts and terminate your speaker cables with high performance locking banana such as those from Cardas, Oyaide, Vampire, WBT, etc. or simple copper BFA connectors rather than seek another unit with an ideal binding post arrangement... my 2 cents
