Best method for running multiple speakers at once

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

(Just posted this in Vintage where I usually hang out, but thought I'd check with you guys too.)
Any recommendations for the best way to run multiple sets of speakers at once? I'd like to play around with a "wall of sound" of my vintage speakers and am wondering the best way to go about this to prevent damage to speakers or amps/receivers.
Option A: Buy a speaker selector unit that accepts several sets of speakers and allows one or more pair to be played at a time. Monster has a unit that accepts six pairs and claims that all can be run at once safely. Any opinions? Any other selector units recommended?
Option B: Run my source (i.e. turntable or cd player) into Amp A, go tape out from Amp A to tape in Amp B, go tape out from Amp B to tape in Amp C, etc. Run one pair of speakers from each amp. Turn 'em all on at once but I'm afraid this might lead to (in the words of Journey) "when the lights go down in the city."
Anyone else have any experience running a wall of sound? I'm serious about this. (Unfortunately, Phil Spector is preoccupied at the moment.)
