How to amplify four 'front- speakers


Newbie here. I have an old Sony DA3ES Receiver driving an equally old pair of B&W DM640s with B&W 303s for side-positioned surrounds. The receiver has connections for only two 'front' or 'main' speakers so the 303s are hooked up as surrounds. Is there a way to get the signal going to the mains to also travel to the 303s?

This is probably a stupid question but I need to learn this stuff.

Thanks for your help, Mofimadness. Would the Adcom speaker box be able to differentiate between the 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers and drive all four properly, or do all speakers connected to it need to be the same impedance? I love my 604s but finding two more is no easy task.
Thanks again...this looks to be the way to go. I was able to download the needed owners manual but I appreciate the offer!

Right now, with the 4 ohm 604s hooked up as the mains/fronts and the 8 ohm 303s as the surrounds, the sound is good. Having said that, would I expect to get better performance using the Adcom box where the main signal will go to all four speakers instead of just a surround signal going to the 303s?
Well, I grabbed an Adcom GFS6 from eBay so will see how that works. I got the 6 instead of the 3 as i want to send music into a number of different rooms.

I'll report back on how this works...and thanks for all the helpful replies!
