Question
To Whom It May Concern,

I have two sets of Mono Amplifiers
four  amps (4) in all, that I want to configure for stereo
use into  AR-3A 8 ohm speakers.

I would like to have the ability to move from one set of amps to the other, without having to disconnect and then re-connect the entire system.

How could I set this up, and is there a commercially available
switch that I could utilize in this endeavor??

Thank You

There are many. The above is just an example.  

If you go to google shopping and search for speaker switch box you will find many possible solutions.

In your case you would connect the amplifiers to the outputs and the speaker to the input.

You can buy mechanical push-button type switchers at Radio Shack for $10 area.

Let me know if you need more.
