IMO the Niles speaker control is not the best solution. If you want to seriously compare speakers I suggest you get one of the Luxman speaker selectors - see here:

If you want the best product for speaker and RCA switching there is the ABX Switch Comparator made by Van Alstine: https://avahifi.com/products/abx-switch-comparator
