Speaker selector that won't degrade sound


Is there such a thing?

Seems like many of them have relays or protection devices in them that will affect sound quality.  Could I make one?  

The reason for one is that my system is now a hybrid, my 2 channel setup and HT setup use the same front speakers.  Have an Onkyo AVR with no pre-outs and a Schiit Freya+ as my 2 channel preamp, so no way of doing a HT bypass so I want to use a speaker selector and have both feed into the selector.  Right now I literally swap the speaker cables at the back of the speaker.

Out doors I have always ran SOOW. You’ll never hear the difference until you roll over the cable a couple of times with 300lb subs on casters. It will tear up a standard anything other than 600vac SOOW in armor. Some of my 50 footers double (4/12) bass cable are 35-40 years old. You can just about hit them with a lawn mower and it will not only keep working, it will still sound good too. 99.999 pure copper, fine stand, very flexible. Heavy copper works on everything.

I roll out heavy speakers in the summer and I have a few outdoor speakers.. To roll out plug in and listen to music under 5 minutes. They are stupid proof speakers too.
