I had seperate front speakers for my HT and my 2 channel for a while. It was an impressive wall of speakers. But acousticly not the best and getting my better 2 channel amp aligned to play the front role during HT is a win win.

Dual speaker system
Has anyone tried a dual speaker system with a pre-amp with two outputs? Mind you, not four speakers playing at the same time, but having a system with two separate amp/speakers combinations for different moods and music—e.g., a SS tied with floor standers and a tube amp with monitors.
I’m trying this now with my monoblock Mc connected to Sonus Faber floor standing speakers and then the alternative is a low fi tube amp paired with some Q Acoustic speakers.
Of course the Mc/SF is much better, but I kinda like having a different sounding system to switch to and I like the idea of having more gear to tinker with!

That is a silly proposition. Good systems play everything well. If they can't they are not good systems. One great pair of speakers is always better than two mediocre ones. Same for amps. @glennewdick We use to run stacked Quads all the time. The HQD system is a classic. Hartley subwoofers, stacked Quads and Decca ribbon tweeters each one driven my it's own Mark Levinson 25 watt class A amp designed by John Curl. All this is acting like one speaker system. The OP is contemplating two entirely different speaker systems for different moods.
