You could also make an adapter or a special speaker cable that connect the FRONT panel hp jack to your speakers. It’s the same power as the rear RCA and would ensure that the TT2 is not sending both signals at the same time. But, I would still caution to put the TT2 in standby when plugging and unplugging using this method, since I don’t know how fast the actual switching is.
This won't provide any protection against having current from the power amp flow into the headphone port on the TT2.
You may be able to get this all working in a way that you envision and makes sense to you on paper, but to me this is an overly complicated setup and ripe for disaster or at least regular annoyance. This is not unlike many of my hair-brained ideas that seemed like a really smart way to get the best-of-all worlds but ultimately became a complex pain in the ass. I'd just terminate with bananas and swap the cables at the speaker when you want to switch. Over time, I expect you will naturally lean towards one mode of operation 99% of the time and realize all this planning and maintaining of both options was a waste of time.
