My proposed home theater room has two love seats each flanked with a floor-to-ceiling support column (14" square), and with a third column in between them:
column-seat-column-seat-column.
I am considering installing two sets of in-wall surround speakers - a left & right surround in the columns to "bracket" each love seat (create two listening zones, with the primary zone directly infront of my HDTV). I would like to drive both pairs in parallel from the surround outputs of the receiver, thus presenting 4 ohms (two 8 ohm spekaers in parallel) to my receiver's output (assume nominal 110 watts/channel and a speaker sensitivity of 90dB @1 watt). I am reasonably familiar with the nuances of speaker and amplifier power (logarithmic nature of dB) and am comfortable that this arrangement will work okay for my nominal home theater use (this will not overwork the amplifier, damage the speakers, or distort the surround channel), but I was wondering if I might solicit some comments from others.
