If I ever do this, it'll probably be in the form of power amps, because I already own 4 channels worth of single-ended amplifier, with another 2 channels under construction. But although these amps are cool-running for tube amps, 5 channel's worth of them would still likely make my room uncomfortably warm in the summer months.

Most of the speakers that I'm interested in should be fine with SETs--fairly sensitive, easy impedance curves, etc.

I am thinking I will use SET on the front and make use of the T amp I have on the rear channel.
I am also going to follow Doc B's advise and use two Foreplay preamps. Although I won't have remote volume control, it will be affordable and I need the exercise that will come from getting up and down.
When I just want to listen to the FM tuner, I will just turn on the preamp for the front, and it will have the tuner inputs.
I guess that will work, but I don't know about Dolby or any of this fancy 21st century stuff.
I think I am giving up on integrating my PC with home theater for watching tv.

  and High res format players will have 6 channel output which will output a DD signal.
