I should perhaps apologise to longer term board members for a touch of disinterest and for not posting much of late.  Between work and, more importantly, not having any money to spend on expensive things, I've been somewhat less interested with BeoWorld.  I suppose it's depressing to read about people wanting to know how to spend many thousands of <insert currency> or maybe it's just that I've been quite happy with my current setup

Anyway, as followers of the Mac part of the Mac forum might know, I now plan to cut my system to the 5500 and the Mac running through it this reason, I'm selling my PC2 kit on gumtree and probably my mitsubishi system, although sentimental reasons mean I probably won't.  Of course, with just one system, I'll need more speakers and I want to get the 5500 wired to my bedroom and kitchen.

 Hence the question: If I want to run 4 front room speakers, 2 speakers in the bedroom and 2 in the kitchen, can I just join cables in the appropriate manner or will this overstress the amplifier?  Is a parallel or series connection better or can I get a piece of ready made kit to do this with an additional IR sensor? I know this is easy to do with newer equipment, but I use LPs so much that it seems inefficient to use a modern setup plus preamp, and the BS5500 is such a great system I'd rather not sell it
