The Arcam, (wonderful gear), probably has enough current so it wouldn't be a problem, so you can most likely do it. However, to be safe, I might put a multi speaker switching device in line. One that comes to mind, is the Adcom. Don't know if they still make it or not. The way it works, as I recall, is that it places a 4 ohm resister in line, so the amp, sees a non reactive 4 ohm load.
This, if still available is an easy fix, and would give you piece of mind.
