pairing 4 ohm speakers with 8 ohm speakers

I have a pair of stacked Large Advents as front speakers. I power it with a luxman R-117 receiver. I'm thinking of adding a pair of 4 ohm speakers (Ohm Model L) as rears. Is pairing a 8 ohm speaker with a 4 ohm speaker doable or wise? I believe my receiver can handle it. Thoughts?

Sorry guys had a family matter to take care of.....My front speakers are in series. I crossed + and - on each speakers so the ohms wouldn't drop.

That's excellent advice to add a 2cd receiver but I'm maxed out of room in the cabinet the components are in. I have a channel selector and turn down the volume to the rears to help this problem.

I did it like your first example. I was told this is series. The parallel may sound better but puts more strain on the receiver. I wanted to get away from that for the fact I was running rears.
