Hi Bernard,
It depends on how loud you are listening. Since the speakers are 91dB sensitivity, you would be using 1 watt to get 91dB, 2 watts for 94, 4 watts for 97, and that would be about where you'd have to stop on the Zen. If you'll never go that high, then it won't be a big deal, but movies can get loud; I don't know if it's the best idea to use the Zen for the fronts in HT mode.
If I were in your situation, I would just use the Outlaw exclusively for HT, and get a pair of super-efficient tube-loving bookshelf speaks to hook up to the Zen. Klipsch comes to mind, but I know there are tons of others out there.
