Okay, sorry, let me re-phrase this dilemma....I have a Pioneer 5.1 receiver and purchased 2 additional speakers, thinking I could hook them up as additional L-R speakers to fill out the dead spots in my room. My old Sony receiver had a Speaker A and/or B switch, but this receiver doesn't. Because of the thickness of my 16 gauge wire, I cannot twist and connect the second speaker wire to my receiver, so I've opted to twist and connect via the speaker terminals...I've connected the L terminal of Lspeaker1 to the L terminal of Lspeaker2 and the same for the right speakers...will this damage my receiver's poweramp and/or, is there a better way to connect the 2 sets of L-R speakers? The reason I've added the 2 extra speakers is because of my room's odd dimensions, I can get a wider L-R separation...Johnny
