Probably shouldn't do this but...

Not really, it would be the same as volume controls for in wall speakers etc. For that matter Niles makes a speaker selector with adjustable gain that should work perfectly.

Would the Niles TVC-1 work since I'm only wanting to control one set of speakers?

Of course, plus you could add an additional pair later on.

I'll probably get one of those then. I will want to add my tweeters to it as well.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, that first product would not be suitable.

This niles unit looks like it would work perfectly.

So if I wanted to use my set of main speakers and a set of tweeters (both sets 8 ohm) with the unit, I'd connect the right and left positive and negative for both sets to the unit and set the switch to 2 and the amp would see 4 ohms?

No, the amp will see 8 ohms, they are impedance matched. They also have units for 4 or more speaker pair. These are normally used for whole house systems to control bedroom, patio, etc speakers.

A few other models, some do not have any volume adjustment.

My wife said No More Speakers the last time I brought speakers home, so I'll only be interested in controlling one or two sets.

The living room is her Domain and she has OCD, so I'm limited to what and where I can have something in the living room.

I consider myself lucky to have 7 speakers, an amp, and a DVD player in this room.
