Hi Guys,
To be honest, I never really tested my QRX-9001 right after I picked up it up from a QuadBob restoration in July 2005. Right after, I had remote work assignments in Chicago, Australia and the UK, so I was not home for years at a time. And then came SACDs, hi-rez DTS Master Audio, Dolby True HD and the convenience of HDMI so I upgraded my multi-channel system three times with high-end Sony and Yamaha A/V components. So plugging in the QRX-9001 just wasn't a priority anymore as I wanted to use my new A/V components (currently run by a Yamaha RX-A3020) with my four Ohm Walsh 5s and other Ohm center/satellite speakers.
Recently I added another room to the house and dusted off my four Ohm 4XOs and other satellite speakers and feed them with a Yamaha RX-A1030. I want to integrate my QRX-9001 and other vintage 4-channel gear (Tate II, Teac A3440S, dbx 124, 4-channel 8-track player, etc.) into this room as well, so last night I dusted the QRX-9001 off. It turns on but I haven't connected it to speakers yet (hope it works after reading many posts about QuadBob last night!@
I'd like to use the same Ohm 4XO speaker system and be able to switch the speakers between the Yamaha RX-A1030 and the QRX-9001 when I want to listen to "new" or "vintage". I've been looking at these two units (which I'll need two of for four channels):
Has anyone done something similar to what I'd like to do? If so, have you used these speaker selectors or something else?
Thanks a bunch!

- TEC-905B (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003UPIHF2...TF8&colid=1XUSR5JX5XTG4&coliid=I14HSTI2LIGI1A) (preferred because it doesn't have to be on to work)
- OSD Audio ATM-7 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Y8MH3M...TF8&colid=1XUSR5JX5XTG4&coliid=I23FN753THCI28)
