Abominations: HT processor to tube amps?


I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this?
I recognize that merely speaking of this will send me to hell, but still, I must know.

I need to have a single system, to the point where I may get rid of all but 2 amplifiers. So I'm toying with the idea of using a receiver for HT, but using tube amps for L&R.
@erik_squires, glad you asked the question.  I too have had the thought of doing likewise -- i.e. using a tube amp for L&R in a H/T setup.  So, I am also interested in hearing any good/bad or otherwise comments or experiences....   
I used to use an Audio Research VT100 for the left/right HT channels (pass through) in my main 2 channel rig. Worked great, but a tad over kill for the installation but my priority has always been 2 channel listening, so I used the gear I had on hand.
Eric, I use a Primare pre-pro into Class D amps, or into an
SET300B. I like how it sounds, but I also use a tube preamp for the SET, w/o the pre-pro.

You must be in the process of downsizing and simplifying your system. I'd say with the right pre-pro, you would be satisfied with the sound, though if you're like me, you probably have many options available to choose from. I would hate to try and pick from what I have, and narrow my choices of what to keep. Hope it works out for the best.

Regards,

Any way you can bring tubes in to the chain is good. If it sounds good, listen.
