Theater definitely seems like the afterthought here. To have really good sounding theater you need the LCR all the same speakers and same amps. You could go with a smaller Sonus center that is voiced the same.
But, your post here is for tube amps. If you go with a 2 channel tube amp, you will further hurt the theater sound. As long as you are aware of this shortcoming.
My solution should be cheaper than the rest: Use your Bottlehead as strictly 2 channel with the Sonus Fabers since you love the sound. Buy 2 more Emotivas for your right and left for theater. The Anthem is a beautiful piece and can easily run 2 systems for you in varying ways. (just make sure it can pass the analogue signal to zone 2).
