Equipment:
- Amp is Pioneer Rondo 2000 (cant find specs online but here is pic of the back which mentions 4 ohms https://imgur.com/a/yTjUU2X)
- First set of speakers is a Wharfedale Diamon 8.1 bookshelf speakers (specs - https://www.cnet.com/products/wharfedale-diamond-8-1-speakers-wired-series/)
- Second set of speakers is a Bose Acoustimass 3 series IV (specs - https://www.cnet.com/products/bose-acoustimass-3-series-iv-speaker-system/)
- The room is an open plan living space about 12m x 5m

I dont play music loud, but I would like the sound to fill the space better. I've only hooked up one pair of speakers at a time. Would I get fuller sound if I hook up all 4 speakers? Or do I need bigger speakers? Or do I need a 5.1 channel amp?

Can I even hook up all 4 speakers? And if so, would it be in series or in parallel? I tried to figure this out myself from this article https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-wire-four-speakers-to-a-2-channel-amp. But I would need to determine the max and min resistance of the speakers and the amp and I'm not seeing this info in the specs...

TIA
