I've had stereos come in where people would connect fix speakers in parallel on a single speaker output on the amp, basically placing a short circuit across the output of the amp and killing the output stage.
I had a VM SS small stereo built in about 1969. This one one speaker per side. 45 ohms impedance. Seemed strange, as most were as you stated.
