I am trying to find a speaker switch that uses binding posts for both input and outputs. I simply want to switch from one pair of speakers to another for A B comparison testing purposes. Thanks
Does a basic A/B speaker switch with Binding/Banana plugs exist?

Basic it is not. Advanced it is. The Crown OC-150 and OC-150a. Only three sets and only from amp No. 1 and speaker 3 is barrier strip connections. Has meters, though.
Doesn't one of the Niles units have binding posts?

Thanks, after looking at your link I found this which is pretty much what I am looking for though I don't need a two amp option but it may come in handy one day.
I designed/made my own with wireless remote control, both line-level and/or speaker level matching, and A/B/X capabilities. If you are electronically handy...,
Wow! A little more than I need but still very nice work indeed!I designed/made my own with wireless remote control, both line-level and/or speaker level matching, and A/B/X capabilities. If you are electronically handy...,

Here is another less expensive option:

When you cascade two of these units you can have 6 different speakers and six different amps. In short, this design gives you tons of flexibility.

Yes, those are the ones. I spelled it niles instead of Adcom.
I do believe the Adcom GFS-4 is what I am looking for. It is the only one with binding posts. Thank you!

I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Nobsound-Audio-Crossover-Speakers-Amplifiers/dp/B077Z4ZKG5
It has 5-way binding posts. No useless volume control. It does have a useless digital display. But not too bad for the price.

The Devil made me do it.
Volume controls are only useless as long as the owner has no use for them, otherwise they sure as shit can be useful.I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Nobsound-Audio-Crossover-Speakers-Amplifiers/dp/B077Z4ZKG5

Nice find! I will take a close look at this. Appears to be a very versatile unit since it switches two speakers with one amp or two amps with one speaker.I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Nobsound-Audio-Crossover-Speakers-Amplifiers/dp/B077Z4ZKG5

Looks good RTally, have you actually tried it? There are no reviews of the unit.

I stand by my statement. A volume control in a high level line is useless for someone who cares about how the music sounds. Many here believe that the choice of speaker wire is important. Why would anyone want to add a passive volume control in the middle of their speaker wiring path? The same functionality already exists in the preamp.
Also, it is not easy to insert a high power potentiometer or rheostat into a speaker circuit. Good quality variable resistors that can handle 50 to 100 watts of power are not inexpensive nor typically available as audio grade. A wire-wound rheostat can handle the power, but it adds a variable inductance into the circuit. No thank you.

I have not tried it. I saw it linked on the page to the first switch posted above.
I have been looking for a simple switch. My home theater receiver sux at 2-channel music, but my front speakers are nice. I am wanting to put a good stereo amp in living room so I don't use the HT one. And I want to use the same speakers.
