[ICOM] Re: Standby Switch?

[David Aukamp]

The SP-20 and SP-23 speakers provide a convenient (albeit, pricey) 
solution to this problem. They allow switching between two sources as 
well as silencing the audio (with appropriate load). A side benefit 
is the audio filtering that is incorporated in both. Physically the 
SP-23 matches the Pro line better but I find the larger speaker and 
enclosure of the SP-20 more pleasing. And it also provides a line-out 
jack that the SP-23 does not.
