Headphones from speaker output on amp
My neighbour is not an audiophile, but has asked me a question about amplifiers and headphones.
He wants to run headphones (OK with wireless or bluetooth) from his amp but also run the speakers at the same time. He has of course plugged in the headphones on the front panel but it disconnects the speakers.
So is there a way for him to get a signal to his headphones, perhaps by doubling up the speaker output from the amp. I think impedance might be an issue.
He is happy to buy kit off the shelf, but is not into DIY.
Thanks
