An AV novice and a first time poster here, not sure if this post should belong on this sub-forum (will promptly delete/edit if not so).

I have Pioneer SP-FS52 Front L/R speakers set up with the Yamaha RX-v377. I am looking to add 2 speakers from an older Philips (mini Hifi Surround) system to expand to a 4 speaker set-up.

Info and specs for the Philips Fw-v795 (hopefully relevant and sufficient):
This is a 2002 system (with little info online barring user manuals), with 4 speakers in all, a main unit and a booster amp. The 2 front L/R speakers connect to the main unit and 2 additional (surround) L/R speakers connect to a booster amp unit (2 Ch RCA cable running from main unit to the booster amp).
Speakers: Front L/R: 6 Ohm, 3-way [front firing woox bass reflex], Booster L/R: 6 Ohm, 3-way
Amp: Front L/R: 2x120W, Booster: 2x110W; SNR ≥ 75dBA, Freq resp.: 50-20Khz, ± 3 dB

More of a newbie here, when it comes to setting up audio, so I would truly be thankful for advice on whether any of the 2 speaker pairs from older Philips system can work with the Yamaha RX-v377 AVR, and if so, which pair would be suitable.

Either one should work fine. The worst than can happen is that the receiver will shut down.
