" I believe most amplifiers would balk at shorting the negative speakers outputs together."

So far I have seen very few that the individual outputs are balanced to ground. I happen to have one, and DIY amps with 0-4-16R output taps have grounded the 4R and used the secondary for some cathode fb. With SS amps, if you want to bridge them, you count on the negative already being tied together and connect only to the positives.
