Low Voltage AC questions

by

Been a long time lurker, but I've got a question for a project I've been working on.
I'm working on putting in a rather hefty doorbell system for my uncle, he's wanting 5 chimes for 2 doors. At 10-15 watts a piece we're looking at a current draw of 50-75 watts at 16V AC. Now we've looked around and nobody that I've been able to find makes a transformer larger than 30W for 16V
So the question becomes, can I tie two 30W transformers in parallel to get me the 60W or am I going to run into trouble with feedback and such? Said transformers would be identical and right next to each other. Alternatively is there a place that would happen to sell a 60W 16V AC transformer?
