Amp with multiple speakers

Simple enough question but I can’t find the answer in other threads. I just purchased a Sonos Amp with the intention of running two sets of speakers in different rooms. When speaking with the sales people, somehow this intention was lost. The sales folks say I can run the two pairs of speakers into the same banana plugs to drive both sets. However, they noted to check impedance of the speakers. One set is 8 ohms and the other 6 ohms. Is it safe to run these two sets of speakers on the Amp?

Thanks for all the ideas! I went and exchanged the Amp for a Denon DRA800. The guys at the store were super cool about it. The Denon is way more complicated and kind of a pain! Still can’t figure out how to turn the 2nd set of speakers on! But I will later today. I might be just driving myself crazy but I think the Amp sounded better. I’m thinking of talking to the guys at the store and purchasing some (relatively inexpensive … $300-400 ) small wired 8 ohm speakers to replace the 6 ohm ones I have in the second room. Then I could use the Amp! What a great idea! Wish I thought of it sooner. We will see!

Maybe Im too late for this thread. My Sonos (new ) Amp is running 2 pairs of identical built in speakers in a large living/dining room.

But when no music is playing I am getting a buzz out of all 4 speakers. Any suggestions?
