Threshold 4000 & Receiver attached to same speakers
I would like to use the same speakers that are connected to my Threshold 4000 for multi channel and surround sound. I am thinking of connecting a quality receiver to a 10 amp. bradley controls electric relay (and then to the speakers) which would open when the 4000 is powered. I am afraid if I use a 10 amp relay between the 4000 and the speakers it will denegrate the sound (I am now using quality cable and connections). Would the output of the receiver through the speakers and then to the non-powered 4000 harm it?
If I set this up, is there an optimal placement of the relay in the curcuit to the speakers (closer to amp. or speaker)?
Some of you may wonder why I do not purchase a new premium multi-channel amplifier; my budget is the answer!
Thanks for any advice!
