Using B Speakers as Rear Surrounds and vice versa

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I just bought a new amp with Pro-Logic II (as well as digital 6:1). Well, in my humble opinion, Pro-Logic II is as useless as the original version. I think all analog souces, such a TV, music, and most videotapes, sound better with two or four stereo speakers (i.e. stereo setting with B speaker outputs driving "rear" set of speakers.
I used a speaker switching box in my old set-up, so as to allow switching to the rear surround outputs for the second set of speakers when I wanted to try watching a video in analog surround sound. Problem was that is was so complicated even I would forget the settings sometimes, let alone explaining it to the wife.
Is there a way to use the "second set/rear" speakers for both B-speaker outputs and rear surround outputs on an interchangeable basis, w/o using the switching box and its requisite complications? I have to think this issue has come up w/others in the past.
Thanks.
