Prepro into a Preamp into an Amp??


Due to room and size constraints, I cannot have a separate 2-channel and home theater setup. At the same time, I'm trying to get as much out of 2-channel listening as I can without sacrificing too much to the home theater needs.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to use a stereo amp with a stereo preamp as the front 2 channels of a 5.1/7.1 setup, and run a 5.1/7.1 PrePro into the stereo preamp. Can this be done by simply using a stereo preamp with home theater bypass?? That way I would use the stereo preamp/amp just for music. The PrePro (through the stereo preamp) and stereo amp could then be used in conjunction with another multi-channel amp connected only to the PrePro for home theater use. Is this possible? Or would I be doing something screwy with the signal by running it through basically two preamps?

I run a non HT bypassable tube pre with my HT Pro and as others said its simple even without bypass, just reference volume at 12oclock or whatever you wish then calibrate your HT settings as usual.
