OK I know here there is no love for BOSE, and I completely agree they are terrible.
Up until recently I had been using two outdated BOSE 201 Series IV stereo speakers with a 50W sub. To be honest this was treating me quite acceptably for a few years.

However, I recently got two 8" Yamaha
HS80M 'studio' monitors along with the 10"
HS10W sub woofer along with a
Behringer XENYX X1204USB 12-Channel Mixer.
I am currently using the system in stereo powered over USB audio interface... Sounds great for music, but so-so on movies... lacking surround.
Instead I would like to get surround sound. So I would get 3 - 3.5mm to dual 1/4" stereo outputs. This will let me pass all 6 channels into the mixer.
L/R will go out the XLR mains.
Center and sub will go out the 1/4" room control to a
Frontman 25R fender guitar amp.
BL/BR is where **** gets crazy in my mind. I want to pass this to my 300W technics receiver to the two BOSE speakers to function as my BL/BR.
As everything else is active powered. Will this even work or will the timing get way off?
Also being as the HS80 and HS10 are meant to be interconnected in stereo, could I output the SUB signal to a 7th input I mix into the mains (L/R) going from device output -> its own input I know can be dangerous for grounding loops, but also sometimes possible?
