Thanks Eiron - that's just the help I needed. I think I'll try the switching
box at least initially. 'Er indoors is mad at me enough already for
'cluttering up the kitchen' - I think if I suggested putting another amp in
there as well...

Thanks again.

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but if I wanted to run four

me do it? And if so, what should I look for, and what sort of cost might

involved? Thanks for any advice.

Stacking banana plugs - about £5.
This will put your speakers in parallel. It would be OK if they were both
8 ohm and the amp will drive a 4 ohm load.

The alternative is a speaker switching box. These usually put both
speakers
in series, which doesn't risk overloading the amp but can screw up the
frequency response due to variations in impedance with frequency, unless
both sets of speakers are identical.
The best solution is to get a second amp from ebay or a junk shop, and
feed it from the tape-out of the first amp.
