Hi,
I currently have a separates stereo system, with a Technics SU-A600 mk3 amp and Kef Q60 Uni-Q shelf speakers. These are bi-wired (using A & B) speaker outputs.
I am researching setting up a new Atmos HT (5.1.2), and want to use the Marantz SR6013, using the existing Kef's as front L/R, so that it is as future proof as possible, for when I have space for proper cieling speakers ot 7 speaker surround.
I understand that although stereo soundstage piped through an A/V receiver is not terrible, it's not as good as through stereo. If possible, I'd like to preserve the bi-wired architecture with stereo, so I assume this will mean that I will need to bi-amp from the Marantz. This is not an issue for me, because I currently only have space for 5 speaker surround and 2 bouncy atmos speakers. So I'll have some spare speaker terminals to bi-amp.
So I was looking at one of the speaker/amplifier switchers, like https://www.amazon.com/Speaker-Selector-Switcher-Splitter-Control/dp/B01KQNNSVS.
If I place the Marantz in bi-amp mode and keep the Technics in bi-wire mode using A/B speakers, will I potentially have any issues using a switcher like above? I obviously don;t want to blow speakers or shiny new amps...
