One amp to a,b four 8 ohm speakers separately?

I know I can do this, one at a time by plugging in each. Is there a way to run four speaker cables to each cabinet and switch them one at a time???
Thanks, Bob

There are amp switcher products that do this while protecting the amp from a no-load condition. Don’t try to DIY this if you don’t understand the implications.

Works very well. I use it a lot.

The only issue is that it switches amps to speakers instead of speakers to amps.

Thanks guys,
I am aware of the no load situation.

Amp. All speakers are also 8 ohm.

I've looked at ones that do multiple amps but not sure if it works the other way, for speakers.

That probably does not have a no-load risk like a tube amp, so you could wire up your own switcher, and it is low enough output you might find an existing AB both with components rated for the load.

As for amp switchers, the studio products are designed for multiple amps and multiple cabs, allowing you to select the desired combination with the cabs remote and without killing anything. They will probably be more expensive than you want to spend for a one time test, but if it is an ongoing thing, it might be justifiable.

All that said, I would just swap cables in the back of the amp, and if you are worried about a few seconds of switch delay, record them all in a consistent manner and A/B the recorded tones.

That was my first thought,
