I plan to compare speakers by switching back and forth between them.
I have a classic old vintage amp (Sansui AU-717) which allows me to switch between A & B speakers with a knob. The two drawbacks to this are:
1) No remote so I cannot do this from listening position.
2) There is no way to preset the volume separately between A and B to compensate for efficiency differences.
I am wondering of the Marantz would be a better candidate for this task. Unfortunately, the A-B switch is a button so it cycles through the following four options: A, B, A+B, and OFF. I would like to go both ways between B & A without any interruptions.
What I want to know is if I can use the Zoned Audio feature to switch between speakers and also balance out the levels? I will be reviewing the manual, but would appreciate any tips, or tricks anyone has to offer.
Thanks!
