      I am tring to build a audio amplifier and I wish to have
it electronically switched (as few mechanical switches as
possible).  What I was concidering is using CMOS bilateral
switches to handle this.  What I am concerned is they might
produce a great deal of distortion to the signals.  Now I know
that audio signals are typically 20-20kHz, still I don't know
if that would be a problem.

     I would like to know if there is a better way, or if
the CMOS chips are right for the jobs which ones are better
for this type of application.

Thank you in advance,
J. Hack
