Speaker Switching - is this possible?

In our new lounge, the TV will be on one wall, and the projector screen will be on the adjacent wall. I would like to set up an AV amp and speakers so that they can be switched from the TV to the projector screen, and set the speakers to the correct role (front, rear, left right)

Not sure if i'm explaining this well, but if i'm watching the TV then the front rear left/right will be different to the projector screen left/rights. What i'm looking for is some sort of speaker switch that will enable me to change the role of the speakers. I'll probably have to get 2 centre speakers (one for the TV and one for the PJ screen).

Would this be possible?

The amp i'm looking at is the Onkyo 607

cheers

Re: Speaker Switching - is this possible?

You could use a four way switch (this basically reverses the polatiry between lines, so for example you do:
ah, Ill draw it out for you!!

It would mean that you'll need 4 light switches to flick though

Can be done, this device is pretty good and simple to use.

Dupe...

Wow - cheers for this. You've just given me a great idea of making something myself that will switch the speakers using relays. Hopefully that won't affect the sound quality

Any ideas how much the MORB-1 costs in the UK? Sounds like a serious piece of kit.
