Option B is much better than A as those multi-speaker switches add resistors in series and that will noticeably affect the sound. The downside is that the level control on amp 1 will not affect the volume on the other two.Option C is to find a receiver (call it #1) with pre outs and main in and run from the pre out jacks to the tape inputs of the next amp, plus the main amp on receiver #1, using a Y splitter. Then you can do a tape out from amp 2 to amp 3. In this scheme all the volume controls work, so you can balance the levels on all the speakers and the volume control on amp #1 controls the volume of all three. Trick is, you need a preamp with a really low output impedance to drive all three pieces. A recent NAD integrated amp, like my C320BEE can do it easily as it has a pre out with 100 ohms impedance. You could also find a separate preamp like an Adcom or NAD with low output impedance and drive all three receivers with that.
