I am trying to use the rear speakers of my home theater as part of my "Whole Home Stereo". While browsing the internet a while ago I saw a decrative wall mount switch that will automaticaly switch when audio is present. Can someone tell me where I can find one of these guys?

Hang on.. so you want the rears to to play the same as the fronts when only decoding stereo? You have to run another cable from each of the front outputs to each of the rears. You'd then have to waorry about disconecting the rear speakers so that the signal isn't feedback to the amp. You'd have to worry about impedance too. I don't think that you'll be able to find any swith that does this automatically..

The wireing configuration is as follows

-"Whole Home Sterio" amp to impedance matching volume control.
-Impedance matching volume control to switch.
-Home Theater amp to switch.
-Switch to rear speakers.

I could use a manual switch, but I am quite sure that I saw an automatic switch. If anyone can tell me where to get one, please do!!

This is kind of what I am looking from, but I do not want to have the A-BUS thing going on

This is what I was looking for. Has any one seen this for a more reasonable price?
