You take a risk if you do. Not advisable, unless you

So, in my case, I need to have all speakers to have the
same impedance 4, 6 or 8 ohms, if I want to have them on
at the same time? Am I about right?


No. If you want to avoid the most risk, all of your speakers should be 8 or
16 ohms, and 16 ohms would be preferable.

The best of all worlds is to simply have a separate receiver for each pair
of speakers. Then the people in the vicinity of each pair of speakers can
choose their own music, and the sound coming out of the speakers will be
optimal, and the possibility of damaging the speaker will be minimized.
Receivers and music players have become so inexpensive that this is a very
practical alternative.
