Thanks everyone for the input. However, I am not closer to any solution. I don't need to switch between inputs using one amp, and I can't wait to power-up a tube amp when the kids want to watch a movie.
If the speakers are connected to the tube amp, and I use any pre-out from the AV Receiver, all amps need to be powered when movie watching. My wife and kids do not have the patience to wait for the tube amp to warm up.
Is there a speaker switching device? Speaker connection from each amp to device, and hook up front speakers to device. Or am I dreaming?
Or, should I just give up on quality HT, and buy some small front speakers just for HT and mount out of the way. (Mirage Omnisats)
Any help is always appreciated
