Assuming that the impedance on the paralleled front A/B channels doesn't cause the receiver to shut down, what you propose seems workable.



Some receivers have a separate internal amp for separate zones. If this is the case you have no worries. On my Denon 3608 I can use the last separate internal amp for either rears in 7.1 mode or for zone 3.

It looks like they recently removed my model from their web page so I can't go back and confirm how they treat zone 2, parallel or no?

Check your documentation to know for sure.
