Any disadvantages to serial connections? I've got a DH500, capable of
driving 4 ohm, probably 2 ohm steady, and all my speakers are 8 ohm.
What will be the disadvantage of running two speakres in parallel for a
lower (but acceptable) resistance?

Main dissadvantage would be rooted imaging, as the tweeters and midrange
would no longer be coming from one point source.

Series connection will cause frequency response problems, especially if the
speakers are not matched.

The DH-500 would handle a parallel set of most speakers with no problem. If
it gets very warm, and / or the fan runs at a continuous high speed, then
I'd worry.

Electrically, the amp should cope. You might not get appreciably
greater volume, and your chances of a proper stereo soundfield will
diminish. If you mainly listen to the pan-potted mono that passes for
stereo in most commercial music, this may not worry you. :-)
