I have been looking for something similar to what you are looking for, if I understand your post. As far as I can tell, the options are pretty limited. The options I am aware of are:
1. Buy an HT receiver and just don't use the amps
2. Buy a HT pre/pro - most options here are rather expensive.
3. When I posted a similar questions, mikebake suggested this:

It just might do what you need. You can download the instructions for the unit and read through them. This unit has provisions for setting levels of the channels to account for amp/speaker spl variations. I have no idea if it is a good product, but it certainly is priced right. Keep in mind it has no video capability. Personally, I consider this a plus as it keeps the video signal (a potential noise source) away from the audio section. Typically, your video source can do the video switching anyway.
Just my 2c. Hope it helps!

Klipsch DD-5.1!!!!! Great Start, now how about Pro Logic II capable? - e.lectronick 18:28:46 09/17/02 (2)
Yes!
That is exactly the sort of device I've been looking for!
It does everything I need (decode surround signals of all types), and nothing I don't need (amplify, tune in radio, eq, phono preamp etc...).
It would be perfect if not for the lack of Pro Logic II. But for the price, I would be able to overlook it in a big way.
Thank you so much for the heads up on this unit, Rick. I'm surprised that this sort of solution isn't more popular. I guess the market is more geared toward all in one solutions except for the high end. But if I don't find anything better (anyone?) then this is the unit.
By the way everyone, I'd still like to hear from you if you have any similar suggestions that have Pro Logic II.

  Is this a stand alone unit? In the help/questions section it seemed as if it needs to be connected to some kind of central unit as a coordinated system that they offer. I just looked quickly and may have missed something here. Good luck.

    It's been working fine. Has some clunk noise when first receiving new program signal, but other than that, it's fine.
