Add a/b switch? How to run 2nd pair of speakers?


I've got speakers in both my living room (main system) and kitchen. I used to have an integrated that had an a/b switch so it was no problem playing both or either sets of speakers.

Now I have moved up in the world and purchased a Rogue Tempest Magnum integrated which obviously does not have an a/b switch.

What are my options to keep my kitchen speakers running? I do not want to set up a seperate system. But, I've heard piggy-backing the speaker terminals degrades the sound.

Does adding a seperate a/b switch effect sonics negatively?
Where might I get one and what is a good brand?

Any ideas? Thanks very much.

I have the same problem, as my old Soundcraftsman amp had this feature, but my new McCormack doesn't, and I have electrostatic headphones that require an extra set of speaker terminals. I've been told that going to a speaker selector box, even an expensive one, will degrade the sound, so I'll probably have to blow off these headphones and get some new ones. Anyway, not much help here, but maybe someone with speaker selector box experience can add input.
