I have a single output sound card (m-audio 2496) and would like to be able to switch between two sets of powered monitors, without swapping cables. Can this be done with just a regular speaker switching box? Reason I ask, is that it seems like these are usually used post-amplification in the signal chain, rather than pre-amp. Maybe I'm over thinking this, but I don't want to introduce noise, or degrade the signal.

Yeah, that's more the price range I was looking for. I checked the user reviews though, and they all seemed quite unanimous that it wasn't very good. Actually, they put it a bit stronger than that <g>!
In the true spirit of asking for advice and then doing something totally different, I found and ordered this, made by Hosa: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SLW333
Of course, I couldn't find any reviews of it, so it might be an even bigger piece of crap!
Wish I could have afforded the Mackie. It's very often true that you get what you pay for, and I know well that they make quality stuff. I have a 808S powered mixer, and it's a dandy. Thanks for the replies, I'll let you know if this thing works at all.
