Ohm question

OK, first off, I doubt i would ever try this, but i was just curious about something and thought i would get everyones take on this.

Bear with me now, im a little rusty on electronic formulas, and i might have this bass ackwards.

Basic understanding of electronics dictates that if you have 2 10ohm loads and wire them up in series you have a 20 ohm load right?

And if you have 2 10ohm loads, and wire them up in parallel, you get a 5ohm load right?

So, if you stack 2 4ohm speakers, what impact would you see as a result of wiring them in series to create a 8 ohm load?

How would it impact sonics?
Amperage?
Wattage?

One of the best stereo demonstrations I ever heard was in the home of a DIY musician in France who had removed the internal resistors on 2 pairs of Quad ESL speakers and had them wired in series for the left and right channels.
For your specific question, I would suggest to simply contact Magnapan.
