It's common for inexpensive speaker switchers (including R.S.)
to wire the speakers in series. This isn't really wonderful
even without autoformer volume controls, but it's a real
(read: very noticable) problem with autoformers.
Here's an interesting experiment: engage (turn "on") the
unused speaker pair B. How many other pairs quit playing?
Do you actually need the ability to switch zones on/off?
If not, you have other options.
All good fortune,
