[QUOTE="Byrd2, post: 92762, member: 384"] I think his analysis was focused more to the distortion introduced by certain types of relays. How many ms do you suspect it takes a relay to open contacts? However slow the relay is - I suspect it will be good enough to save speakers, as long as they are not tweeters directly coupled to the output that is. The largest delay in these circuits is the time it takes for DC to be detected and the decision to actualy release the relay. It has to take a praticular amount of time because of the nature of other valid signals that the circuit must pass (IE low frequency bass). A snubber will also increase relay opening times ...
