I asked this question to myself in the past. I found this guy to be very helpful. I would explain it to you but I would probably screw it up. Here’s a link to his website.https://geoffthegreygeek.com/connecting-multiple-speakers-to-amplifier/
Want to add 2 more speakers to stereo amp- CXA80
I have a Cambridge CXA80 amp that drives my two Dynaudio DM 3/7 towers. Amp and speakers are both 4 ohm 120W per channel.
(the amp can play 8 ohms too)
amp specs below:

I’m thinking of adding 2 ceiling speakers to the kitchen that is right next to the living room that I listen to the towers in. The ceiling speakers are Dyn, but they are listed at 8/5 ohm....

Will this set up compared to the 4 ohm connection with the tower speakers get squirly? I may want to just listen to the new ceiling speakers without the towers, but sometimes may want all 4 playing...
Can any of you describe what will happen SQ wise with the ceiling speakers with higher ohms, as well as ohm wise when listening to just the 2 new ceiling speakers, vs all 4? ( and will this set up decrease the SQ on the towers when just the towers are playing?
Thanks!
