I want to drive two bookshelf speakers and two remote "Monitor"
speakers from a single compact stereo system. Inputs would be either an
iPod Nano or an AirPort Express (if there's only one analog input I'd
probably use a mini-jack splitter).

I've had a tough time finding what I want, but this JVC 'executive'
system seems close:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00021MX0C/ref=wl_it_dp/002-8441600-6444067?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I9J6O2RE1U59E&v=glance&colid=KG7T8CF6S94Y

Problem is, it only supports two speakers. If the monitor speakers are
roughly the same impedance, can I simply jam their wires into the
speaker connectors? Is there a more elegant solution?

Thanks!

If they are the same impedance, jamming in two pairs will, in effect,
halve that impedance and the amp may not handle that well. I suggest,
if you are limited to such combos, get one that has provision for more
than one set of speakers.

Thanks Kal. Looks like that idea bit the dust!

I think I've got it! The one Amazon review contributor was trying to
solve exactly the problem I've been working on:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00026BQJ6/ref=pd_cps_gw_3/102-4320615-2192922?v=glance&s=electronics&n=507846

The dimensions:

# Item width: 13.5 inches
# Item height: 2.75 inches
# Item depth: 8 inches

That shoudl work well in the cabinet I have. It drives two speakers.
RCA inputs will work fine with AirPort Express.
