I have an all mcintosh system output to a pair of Fortes and they are used primarily for vinyl, sounds good. Recenetly I acquired a Fisher 500B. Its phono section are not that good, but the FM broadcast are just great.

Now I am facing a delimma. I want to have a source sleector that I can switch between the Mc Amp and the Fisher Receiver, I see all the speaker selector out there, some do have a source selector, but it seems like an overkill for me, also, all of thoese selectors uses crimp speaker connector, I am looking for ones that uses banana.

No one encounter similiar problem?

With all the vintage gears you have, no one here ever ran into the situation like I said?
 
Russound makes some source selectors: AB 1.2, AB 2.2 and AB 3.2. I haven't heard from anyone how has used them, but their description seems to be what you're looking for. On their web page they are listed with the speaker selectors. I was thinking about getting one so I could use my HPM-100s as front speakers for an HT set up and also have them hooked up to my yamaha Cr-202o for music. If you decide to use one, please repost as I would like to see a review.
 
The Heathkit AD-1307 does this. It's a speaker selector, source selector, and dual power meter.
But it would have to be modded for banana connectors.
 
This has actually been asked & answered a couple of times lately, try the search function and you'll probably find a lot of useful information pretty quickly.

Very interesting, I guess it will hard to find though. I did use the search and found nil related to this topic. I searched "dual source" "two amplifier" and got 300 threads but none of them is about mine
 
I have a similar issue but my best solution so far has been to buy another amp. So I am interested in hearing your results.
