I have an Adcom SLS-505. Does exactly what you need, and more. 7 inputs, two tape loops, totally passive. There's also a volume control on it, so you can plug it straight into a power amp (that's what I do, into a Meitner STR55 for my desktop speaker rig) or you can take outputs from the tape loop and leave the volume control out of the circuit and use it just as a switching center. It's essentially a SYS with 7 ins and volume. Except not in a Bifrost case...
Long out of production, I've seen them sell used online for around $150.
Cheers!
EDIT: Because it's passive, it won't drive headphones. I run the tape loop out to a headphone amp, and use the volume control to control the power amp/speakers.
I used to have an old Creek Audio P43 passive preamp and two A43 amps. Oh, how I miss that rig. The P43 was completely passive, but you could get it fitted with a small power supply to drive headphones (which I never did). I let it go to help fund other gear and have regretted it ever since.
