Hi, Please can somebody help me out?
I have a Yamaha RX-V1050, (old, but still perfectly working).
This amplifier has the possibility to connect 2 pair of speakers.
on speaker connection "A" I already have a pair of speakers that work through an external active equalizer.
I use these speakers when I'm in my music room.

My question is:
I have another two pair of speakers.
On set has a 6 ohms impedance and the other set 8 ohms.
I would like to try and hook up together to my speaker connection "B" (in guess it's called "in paralel"??)

Is it possible to connect a 6 ohms speaker with a 8 ohm speaker?
Would this damage the speakers or amp?

Thank you guys
