MC 50's Paired with Cornwall and LaScala

Hey Guys

I havea question about a new setup im working on for my son's house. He has two McIntosh MC50's hooked up to a pair of Cornwalls in his music room (20x30 ft). I have an extra pair of LaScalas that I am letting him set up in the room also. Does anyone know about hooking up one Cornwall and one LaScala into each MC50? I am pretty sure there will be more than enough power for this but will it change the ohms or anything else that I should be concerned about? Any of your opinions on this subject would be appreciated.

put the speakers in series and use the 4 ohm tap.

don't connect them in parallel since that will put a 2 ohm load on your amp and your amp can only handle 4, 8, or 16 ohm loads.

Thanks. To be clear, you mean; pos of amp (4ohm tab) > pos of one speaker; neg of that speaker > pos of second speaker; neg of second speaker > neg of amp; right? I'm going to try it this evening and see how it sounds.

right
