Combining 2 Channel and HT
I see... connect the Rotel's pre outs for the FL/FR to the LS15/100.2 and use three of its amps to run the center and surrounds. Your right, I'm not so fussy when it comes to HT so the mismatch shouldn't be a problem for me. It will be curious to ... 
which technology really has the best picture
