Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to use the following components to build a semi diy home theater:
1. Speakers- any commercial 5.1 package (wharfedale diamond 220 hcp)
2. Audio processing- Analogue out (6 channels ) from PC sound card (i have the asrock z170 extreme 3 which supports dts connect)
3. Amplification:
Front - stereo amp (Rotel RA 10 )
Rear- stereo amp (lets say Norge 2060 ?)
Center- stereo amp (another Norge 2060- but biwired to center speaker and using a Y cable)
Sub- commercial sub
What I will miss out on:
- Dolby atmos/ dts X
- Audssey / YPAO or similar room calibration
Besides the above are there any downsides to not using a commercial AVR ?
In my opinion the above setup will give a lot of freedom to experiment with amps and channels without having to worry about wattage/ headroom etc.
Also can class D amps like these (see link below) replace the Norge/ Rotel amps in the above setup?

Thanks in advance
