OK, I did this. Home Stereo, SFM 75 MKII Mono Blocks powering Meadowlark Shearwaters Hot Rods. Bought a Anthem Pre 2L with SSP by pass audio to processor. Used my Sherwood Processor and three channels of my Carver AV505. The rest of the speakers are the Optimus LX Pro V and the same version of the center with Linnauem tweeter. I have mixed results. It took me a devil of a time to get them close alighed with AVIVA, but once close the sound was great on the FleetWood Mac DVD. Movies so so, but the they all are. I do worry about excess tube use so will probably go back to the old set up. For splash, bang movies who really cares. Good luck with your experiments. If I try it again I will pick up some solid state main amps.
